It's basically OPENLY advertising that Britain is now a free-for-all. Alngside offensively patronising advice like "you need to increase your relevance in the Indo-Pacific". No! Really, Penny? Gee, thanks.
These are utterly toxic notions and they are targeted DIRECTLY at the Trump base. The idea that trade with no standards can address corruption and human rights abuses. The idea that the EU stands in the way of Western capitalism fulfilling its destiny, by having RULES.
The fucking nerve of a minister in a government MIRED in scandal about awarding billions of dodgy contracts for unusable PPE to its mates, touring the world to boast about how it has "liberalised procurement processes". Do these people think the internet doesn't exist?
