The pertinent thing about this is that at the time that the senior Trump administration official (sadly no longer in post) made that statement Johnson was in trouble getting a deal through the hung parliament. This statement was never realistic but aimed at the gullible who could be relied upon to spread and absorb the word.
Fast forward a few months and the withdrawal agreement is sailing through and we will leave the EUin two weeks time. Now that this is certain there is no sign of this nonsensical offering. In its place are threats that if we don't fall in line with its position on Iran then there will be negative consequences for hopes of a trade deal.
Cynics might say that the good cop was seeking to make sure we left the EU and the bad cop is now taking advantage of us striking out on our own.
