This is happening because the EU was found to have broken world trade laws in giving state aid to one of its companies - Airbus. The UK does not and will not break international trade laws, so once we control them again, the US would not be able to impose punitive tariffs on us.

The above is correct. Don't think us too squeaky clean though. Our MP's have been found to be illegally selling arms to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen against our own laws. If our MP's are willing to break those laws then trade laws are nothing to them. Some of the current party in power are the worst kind of money grabbers.
Our own foreign secretary (at the time) was found to be having secret off the record meetings with Israel to help put some cash in her (already full) pockets.
