Berkshire Hathaway's Buffett interested in UK, EU deal
Multibillionaire investor and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett is interested in making a deal in the UK even though he considers Brexit -- the UK's decision to leave the EU -- a mistake, he told investors at his company's annual shareholders' meeting on Saturday.
Buffett told investors that Berkshire Hathaway hopes for an acquisition "in the UK and/or in Europe" regardless of the Brexit outcome, Yahoo Finance reported on 4 May.
"We'd love to put more money into the UK," Buffett said in meeting remarks captured in video posted on Yahoo Finance on 4 May. "We're hoping for a deal in the UK and/or in Europe no matter how Brexit comes out."
Brexit, he said, "doesn't destroy my appetite in the least for making a very large acquisition in the UK."
Buffett had recently expressed his interest in a UK deal during a Financial Times interview.
