Barack Obama says Scotland should remain part of United Kingdom

Barack Obama has urged Scotland to reject independence, saying the United Kingdom is better off remaining together.

Britain works “pretty well” as a “united” nation, the US President said, in major intervention in the debate over the future of Scotland.

The President reiterated his call for Britain to remain in the European Union. The commemoration of D-Day shows Europe depends on Britain for its prosperity, and the UK will lose out if it excluded, the President said.

The British people will make the “right decision” in an in-out referendum, he said.
