Abstract :

With the withdrawal of Britain from the European Union as one of the most important members of the European Union, some saw the strengthening of nationalist views as a factor in shaking the approach of European regional integration. Therefore, the Brexit could be the beginning of the process of withdrawal of other members of the European Union and its collapse. While the EU has taken steps to maintain its cohesion and meet its security, economic and a political challenge, the UK withdrawal has been welcomed by the US, which some see it as a deeper rift between the EU and the US. This article, which has been compiled analytically-descriptively using library resources, seeks to answer the question of what is the US and EU approach to Brexit? In this regard, the article will examine Britain's withdrawal from the Union and the approaches of the US and the EU. The findings show that in the Obama era, due to multilateral policies, peaceful relations, cooperation with the European Union in various fields, and the emphasis on the transatlantic treaty, we see disagreement with Britain's withdrawal from the EU, but in the Trump era due to unilateralism policies and Britain's encouragement not to join the EU; On the other hand, the European Union continues to call for the integration and preservation of its members, especially the UK, for its own economic, political and security interests. In fact, the issue of Brexit is one of the causes of divergence between the USA and Europe.
