Moving to Europe now. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Wednesday that he hoped Britain would rejoin the European Union after it leaves next year. Juncker noted that the Union's treaty provided not only for an exit but also for admission to the bloc with the Lisbon Treaty's Article 49. Take a listen.
JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT "Even if the British have left under Article 50 there is still Article 49 which allows a return to membership and I would like that, I would like us now to treat each other reasonably and not abandon each other."
