The UK economy in 2019 was £2,200,000,000,000 (£2.2trn).
The govt thinks a US-UK trade deal us worth £3.4bn.
This is Brexit's sunny uplands.

REMINDER: govt's own 2018 Brexit impact studies showed what would happen to regional GDP in the North East, & the rest of the UK, under various EU trade outcomes, including a no deal Brexit.
No US trade deal will compensate for any of this.
