I note that the US, with the horrid John Bolton at the helm (arguably at least twice as vile as Trump), is gleefully pursuing us for when we leave the EU, which Trump hates with a vengeance. It isn't about giving us a good deal (which will take many years and which will come laden with unpalatable conditions). It's about driving wedges on this side of the Atlantic. Long may the US be a waning force in the world...
