Donald Trump, with his aggressive trade policy, can compensate for the weakening of the British pound caused by Brexit. This could bring sterling back to the levels before the UK left the EU, experts say.
Analysts note that the loss of the dollar’s «exclusivity» status due to the unpredictable tariffs of the White House is putting pressure on the US currency. If the dollar weakens, the pound will become one of the main beneficiaries.
After the Brexit decision in 2016, the pound fell sharply against the dollar as investors questioned the stability of the UK as a safe haven for assets. However, Trump’s trade policy has changed this balance, threatening the established global economic order.
If the United States faces the loss of its «privileged haven» status, as happened with Britain, it will cause a structural weakening of the dollar. In this case, the pound/dollar pair may return to the range of $1.50-$1.80, typical of the pre-Brexit level.
