WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama may try to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with Britain and a multilateral trade pact with the European Union at the same time following the "Brexit" vote, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday.
"I think given what has happened, the president is going to try to do both at the same time. He knows how to multitask," Kerry said at a conference in Aspen, Colorado, when asked about Obama's April comment that the United States would focus on a wider trade deal with the EU and Britain would go to the "back of the queue" if it voted to leave the EU as it did on Thursday.
