“The special relationship remains a special relationship,” he said. “We’re confident that, no matter what the implications are of this vote, that the relationship between the United States and UK will remain as strong as ever. Also our partnership with the EU, across a range of security, political and economic issues, will remain very strong indeed.”

I do want to make clear that the United States will strongly oppose the re-establishment of a hard border between the six counties of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Now they're gonna try get involved with Northern Ireland. No wonder a lot of people hate the US.

You do realise that both the UK and Ireland invited in, without prompting, the US as a neutral third party to oversee and arbitrate disagreements vis a vis the GFA, the basis of the current NI process, the only one to bring peace. They are sticking their oar in because the direct parties in the issue made them part of the solution. Obama pretty much as an obligation to the UK and Irish governments to take the line has, because Clinton agreed to Major's and Bruton's request to get involved and ensure the GFA stuck.
