BERLIN, Germany (AFP) — German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Saturday that the EU would weather the shock of the British vote to leave the union as he convened crisis talks.

“I am confident that these countries can also send a message that we won’t let anyone take Europe from us,” he said heading into a meeting in Berlin of his counterparts from the EU’s six founding members.
