I’d have more faith if the heads of US corporations showed up when summoned to parliament.
Recent examples include Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook over Cambridge Analytica) and Irene Rosenfeld (Kraft; reneged on promises to UK government over take over of Cadburys. Refused 3 times).
Or if we were able to successfully extradite US suspects in the same way our citizens could be extradited to US. Recent examples are.. so numerous and high profile you can just google yourselves.
The UK might not have a “small” economy right now whilst we’re still in the transition phase but we’re still not powerful enough to get justice from US corporations as it is.
How will the balance of power shift after we’ve negotiated new trade agreements from a position of weakness?
