UK could be shut out of super-accurate EU GPS system it helped to build
Exclusive: The EU’s Galileo GPS system went live in December, but the UK will now have to negotiate, and pay for, access to it
Brexit could leave the UK out of new EU-wide global positioning system (GPS) that went live in December after more than 15 years in development, with much of the cutting-edge work having been carried out by British companies.
The Galileo system, developed in partnership between the European Union and the European Space Agency (a 22-country, non-EU organisation that the UK will not be leaving), has been years in the making, and was built to end the dependence of European countries on GPS technology provided by either the US, Russia or China, who could shut down access to their systems should they so decide.

Not sure about the language that is now returning to this thread, but plenty of leave voters I know dislike Trump and his politics, particularly for the views of his deputy Pence.
