GBPUSD Pound Sterling vs United States Dollar

The pound declined against its major counterparts in the New York session on Monday, as the U.S. dollar strengthened after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 100 percent tariff on BRICS nations if they moved away from the U.S. currency.

Trump warned BRICS countries to not create a new currency or back any other currency to replace the US dollar, pledging 100 percent tariffs for non-compliance.
