Why is it the UK's responsibility to "maintain the EU single market", to the detriment of the UK single market? Yet again, no other country(eg US) would accept that.
The UK shares a no-fence border with the EU of a few hundred miles. It is committed to keeping the Irish border this way.
Obviously, the US and other countries do not share such borders with the EU. The UK and Republic of Ireland joined the EU at the same time so it worked ok then.
