Today, Sunday, the British pound fell by 0.82 percent, after Britain imposed strict new restrictions to confront a new rapidly spreading strain of Corona virus and the lack of progress towards an agreement to leave the European Union.
The British Minister of Health said that it is possible for London and the southeastern regions of Britain to remain subject to more stringent restrictions for some time in order to eliminate the new Corona virus strain, while many European countries closed their doors to those coming from the Kingdom..
Britain also insisted in the trade talks on Sunday with the European Union that the bloc should open the way to a new trade agreement for the post-Brexit period, which was met with a quick response from the European negotiator who defended the Union’s right to protect its interests..
