Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
Brexit is at the top of the news today. Britain has official voted to leave the European Union.
Because of this, British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will step down.
On this side of the Atlantic, the U.S. stock market reacted with a tumble, as financial institutions figure out what Brexit will mean for the global economy.
We also wanted to take a look at what this means for those us here in the U.S. Whether you have money invested overseas or not, there's still things you should probably be aware of when it comes to how Brexit can affect you- even if you're just looking to travel to Britain this summer.
To tell us more about that, Take Two's A Martinez spoke with Jim Puzzanghera. He writes about business and economics for the LA Times.
