Of the UK's 67 post-Brexit trade deals (i.e. Liz Truss' trusty photocopier):
38 are fully ratified.
25 are provisionally in place ahead of full ratification
4 are bridging mechanisms because a deal's not been fully sorted out yet
3 remain in discussion

But the EU also has trade agreements with:
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Iraq
Kazakhstan
Madagascar
None of the above countries feature on the UK's list, either in the "trade deals" or the "not yet negotiated" sections.

Also, the EU has trade agreements in the process of ratification (i.e. negotiations are finished, but the deals aren't yet in force) with 24 more countries.
None of those feature on the UK list either.
So we're very far from copying what we had before.

If we were still in the EU, we'd have all existing deals in full force.
And we could expect to soon benefit from the 24 deals that have been agreed but not yet ratified (i.e. the ones which don't even get a mention in the UK summary).
