I think the US is trying to be quiet to get the UK a good deal with the EU. Suddenly lowering the EU's trade status is an example of more visible setup for what they want.. Special access to Europe through a corrupt merchant island.

I.e. how do you bypass EU regulations without a nice English speaking middle man country with near EU trade status to do a lot of dirty work?

IMO the UK will be a specialist in packaging and final assembly of US and Indian goods if they get a good deal from the EU.
