The EU do not have a trade deal with the USA either.
The UK may get a trade deal in the future, which could be better tailored to our own requirements than any mythical EU/USA deal.
Which got the penalty tariffs on steel removed first, the EU or UK

Clue:  it rhymes with see you.

"For a while now, that has not been a priority for either the US or UK.

What we're both focused on is making sure that our economic partnership reflects the particular challenges and opportunities of the time that we're in right now. And that is the conversation that I will be having with President Biden."

Asked if the pledge to reach a rapid deal – as repeatedly made by various Conservative ministers and prime ministers before and after the Brexit referendum – had been unrealistic, Sunak said:

"Since I've been prime minister, we've been focused, as have the US, on making sure that our economic partnership reflects the opportunities and challenges of the time that we face now"

Looks.like that golden prize of brexit, the one that was supposed to (but never would) make up for making trade with our biggest partner block harder isn't actually likely.......

IE Sunak isn't going to push for a deal because he knows a public 'piss off' from Biden will be humiliating.
 
But that is the USA's view on a deal with the UK across both their main parties.  Just like Obama said, the USA really isn't interested in bilaterals and the real politik is so many senators want USA protectionism and so many others want no deals that offend Ireland that a government still seen there as Conservative and Unionist isn't going to get a trade deal.

The whole idea of a trade deal with the USA better than the EU will get was always a busted flush anyway.  Problem is without such the supposed trade benefits of Brexit become at most vestigial.
