No, there was no over dramatization over anything - the WH was confronted by a professional, who the WH knows has the vast majority of his people united behind him, who acted in a professional manner and didn't rise to any of the 'click bate' that they put in front of him.
As a result, they had 2 choices - do/say nothing and get nothing out of the meeting to display to their own people, or, pivot and put on the charm offensive and say, 'look at us, we are playing nice!' and remove an argument from the dissenting Republicans that the WH is ruining its relationship with this largest trading partner and closest ally.

I haven't read it but it seems vehicle imports are significant component. I'm not sure I'd it call that a 'major' import sector. According to one source, the UK exported a little over 100K vehicles to the US last year (I'll bet a lot of them are Minis).

And after those 365 days you lose OHIP coverage.
Need to be very careful with going beyond 183 days as you’ll most likely be on the hook for filing a US taxes return.
