March 31 (Reuters) - Sterling held steady against the dollar on Monday as Britain hopes to negotiate a deal with the U.S. to avoid President Donald Trump's broader round of reciprocal tariffs this week.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Trump discussed "productive negotiations" towards a UK-U.S. economic prosperity deal in a phone call on Sunday evening, a Downing Street spokesperson said.
The currency steadied at $1.2936 against the greenback and at 83.665 pence per euro .
