I think it's quite obvious really. Trump and the whole Make America Great Again mantra drives trade war after trade war. Brexit is an easy way to destabilise the EU, with the added bonus of scraping up some wins for US businesses in the UK.

A Biden administration would see a strong EU as an important counterweight to Russian influence in Eastern Europe and be less interested in a trade war with the EU.
