I'm curious what the UK could provide the US that would be much benefit for the US..

Tea ?

The NHS might be on the table in the form of medicinal licencing within the UK or something, but I'm not sure what you mean..

Well the US imported $67 billion worth of goods alone from the UK in 2019. One of the six or seven highest figures among US trade partners; slightly higher than France.

US services imports from the UK are typically around $40 to $50 billion.

So, $110 +/- billion in total imports from the UK. A considerable sum (more so for them of course).

The UK is also the largest single foreign investor into the US, representing 15% of all foreign direct investment. As individual countries go, the US is the largest importer of UK goods and services.

They're the fourth largest export market for the US. It's a good economic relationship to maintain, clearly.

Assuming is always the worst of the decisions.
