Chilean President Michelle Bachelet weighed in on the Brexit debate, making a veiled comment in support of continued U.K. membership in the European Union.
Chile would like to count on British support in pushing for a modernization of the Latin American nation’s trade agreement with the 28-member EU later in the year, Bachelet said late Thursday, delivering the annual Canning Lecture for Canning House, a U.K. nonprofit that promotes ties between Britain and Latin America, Spain and Portugal.
