Ministers hope this announcement is a reasonable basis for carrying on with negotiations over a trade deal that could lead to them falling or being dropped entirely.

The US wasn’t reliable before Brexit 😄. Even as far back as Obama using the UK as a whipping boy during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and deliberately conflating BP as a British company despite it being half American at the time and the actual spill found to be the fault of a US drilling company. That and casually hacking the German Chancellor’s phone. The US have always been America First. They just didn’t thump their chests (relatively speaking) as much as Trump.
Fair, I feel the same. But I think this reflects where we are as a nation right now.
