Brits have Brexited, but they need better access to US market to compensate for lost EU trade and closer ties to the US military for their national security interests.
But the US doesn't need the UK for either, so the Brits had no leverage. Boris approving 5G was done partly to gain more leverage in US trade talks.
However, US Trade Rep Robert Lighthiser is in charge of the talks. He wrote the WTO, and caused a decades long recession in Japan when the Japanese screwed around with our currency in the '80s. He's been Trump's only USTR, and has Trump's trust like few do. Lighthizer makes sure he holds all the cards, gets his marching orders from the White House, and then he imposes a deal. Not negotiates. Imposes. And he's just made the Brits get rid of the last bit of real leverage they had.
Btw, Lighthizer's next project after he's broken the British will to live?
Breaking China. Not their will to live. There's not going to be another deal with China. His next project is to break the COUNTRY
