Barack Obama warns of risks from ‘crude’ nationalism
Wednesday, November 16, 2016 IST
US President Barack Obama on Tuesday warned against succumbing to “crude” nationalism in the aftermath of populist shocks in the Brexit referendum and the American vote, and with a wave of European elections looming.
“We are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an ‘us’ and a ‘them’,” Obama said in Athens as he embarked on a farewell trip to Europe.
