EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini asks US not to 'interfere' in European politics
Top EU diplomat Federica Mogherini has asked the US not to "interfere" in European politics.
Ms Mogherini made the remarks on the second day of a two-day visit to Washington, her first since Donald Trump became President.
"We do not interfere in US politics {...} And Europeans expect that America does not interfere in European politics," AFP quoted Ms Mogherini saying.
Her remarks follow the US President's repeated praise of Brexit, calling it a "great thing" and saying the UK was "smart" for voting to leave the EU.
