US Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday urged European Union members not to “lose their head” or be “revengeful” after Britain’s shock referendum decision to leave 28-nation bloc.

“I think it is absolutely essential that we stay focused on how, in this transitional period, nobody loses their head, nobody goes off half-cocked, people don’t start ginning up scatterbrain or revengeful premises,” Kerry said in Brussels.
