I’m wondering if this is a negotiation tactic post Brexit as they’re about to enter trade negotiations with the US. Just a bluff bargaining chip to concede.

I think it’s not a neogiting tactic but an indicator that post-Brexit the UK will permanently seek to increase open trade with all parties. I also think in a zero trust environment one has to assume everything is compromised and deal accordingly. Finally I think UK has stronger ties than its peers due to its history in Hong Kong and it will seek to leverage that as the belt and road initiative develops to ensure it is not left out by a revengeful EU.

I would imagine the UK would like to have its cake and eat it too, but the US will make them choose.
