GBP/USD Weakens as Trump Announces UK PM Meeting, Trade Deal Possible

GBP/USD is trading lower following President Trump's announcement of a meeting with UK PM Starmer tonight, with potential approval of a trade deal on the agenda. The pound's immediate reaction suggests market uncertainty about the implications of renewed US-UK trade negotiations. While a potential trade agreement could provide long-term support for sterling, traders appear cautious about near-term volatility surrounding the high-level discussions. The announcement comes amid broader Brexit-related concerns and ongoing UK economic challenges. Technical indicators show GBP/USD facing resistance at recent highs, with support levels being tested on this news. Market participants will closely monitor any concrete developments from tonight's meeting, as a formal trade deal announcement could significantly impact sterling's trajectory against the dollar and other major currencies.
