I realize it may not seem that way, but even under Trump the Republicans are still quite a bit stronger on the pro-business pro-liberty agenda than political parties in other countries. Also Trump only really matters at the federal level, whereas a lot of the decisions that matter for this UK vs USA discussion take place at the local level. It's more about the councillors and governors than the President or the Prime Minister. That's where permitting decisions are taking place for instance.
