I am not saying the US will choose or the other but that our position in negotiations will be weaker than it would be as a collective with Europe. It has taken a while but given the difficulty in securing such agreements it's not a massive surprise, the US hardly has agreements in place with loads of other countries. Still it's took ages and will probably takes ages to agree still.
