After the BRexit, UK out of EU, there is a FRexit (France out of EU) coming http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-05/le-pen-praises-brexit-promises-frexit-referendum-eu" rel="nofollow - http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-05/le-pen-praises-brexit-promises-frexit-referendum-eu and even a Gexit (Germany out of the EU) the US may become emptyhanded in TTIP-talks.
