Indeed, east home. Perhaps the UK will manage to greatly diversify its trade. Which would suit the UK's past as a maritime trading country.
As for North America, the UK already exports to North America to a considerable degree. Greatly increasing these exports will make the UK a major trade partner.
Our American cousins are always prepared to give British produce a go, unlike our Euro friends who simply look down their noses at anything British:-
This guy has opened these restaurants in the US thousands of miles away from the UK, what do you think his chances would have been opening a restaurant a few miles away across the channel in France?

I have to wonder-other than the size of the market, what if anything (worthwhile) do the Brits get out if the EU? So much hassle....
east home, you can find polls online in which citizens of one country rate different countries. For example, U.S. citizens in general (unlike certain politicians) rate the UK very highly.
A hint that British exports will be welcome in the world's largest consumer market.
(BTW, I hope that Dean Thomas will open a restaurant in Seattle.)

I do generally believe that British 'goods and services' would sell better throughout the 'Anglo' world (and perhaps beyond) than within the EU, there is too much EU prejudices towards the UK.
I think its something to do with history, world stereotypation (sorry if I made that word up!!) and the fact that there is a kind of cultural 'Anglo' world.
Today, the new Trans Pacific Partnership agreement was signed in Chile by 11 nations: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam
Now, signatories are opening the door for China to join. Heraldo Muñoz, Chile’s foreign minister, told reporters on Thursday afternoon that Chinese officials had been weighing the possibility of signing on.
“This will be open to anyone who accepts its components,” Mr. Muñoz said. “It’s not an agreement against anyone. It’s in favor of open trade.”
It looks like the U.K. has the opportunity to join.

I think for once the french are right about pasties. Those things back me up.
I was looking at the Express web site. Consider this article-"EU FURY: Brussels threatens to SUE Britain if Fox secures exemptions from US steel Tariffs".
The article talks about Liam Fox working to get Britain exempted from Trump's steel tariff.
I doubt that British officials can dissuade Trump from waging a trade war, but perhaps Liam Fox can sweet talk Trump into allowing exemptions for British industry.
