EU has rejected May’s idea anyway. I guess it now depends if the Government want a FTA or attempt to delay the article 50 deadline to continue to try and get a bespoke one.

They said both sides would work towards scrapping tariffs. They really just paused the trade war. Although there are some suggestions they might use that as a basis to revisit the EU-US trade deal. The US and the EU are both pretty strong. The US is the biggest economy in the world (followed by the EU). We can’t throw our weight around in the same way.
