President Barack Obama says 'hysteria' over Britain's leaving the European Union is unwarranted.
'The average person is not going to notice a big change,' said Obama - if the United Kingdom emulates Norway.
Norway is not in the EU, and yet it is one of America's closest allies, the U.S. president told NPR as part of a long interview, a section of which was released today.
'I think that the best way to think about this is, a pause button has been pressed on the project of full European integration,' he said.
