Isn't the CPTPP more important or at least just as beneficial?

The CPTPP comprises: Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Japan

Btw, I can see some light coming out of Brexit talks leaks. Something about the governance mechanism allowing the EU to restrict access to the single market if the UK diverges too far on competition behaviour. A fudge, but to my pragmatic mind, a welcome fudge.
I think the importance of the US is that it's our biggest single trading partner although if you add up the EU member states they dwarf it and that deal is the most important. But any deal with the EU won't be as good as our current trading arrangements with them so we must steel ourselves for a permanent negative economic impact from 2021.
