You are right and it's not something I'd noticed/registered but you raise a good point. Our politicians are still talking about the Land of Milk and Honey after we Hard-Brexit, how the World will be our oyster, trade deals with the US negotiated in no time atall.
The prospects for a US trade deal still amaze me because our average tariff with US trade is currently 3%. So a free trade deal will save very little money but will undoubtedly mean us getting hormone fed beef, chlorine washed chicken, US mega-corps running the NHS, etc. and all for 3% (plus how much harder that would make a trade deal with the EU). Plus the totally unrealistic timescales the politicians are talking about.
