US lawmakers plan to divide the coronavirus relief plan into two proposals in order to be voted on separately,.

The other part will cover local and state aid, and liability protections for employers against virus-related lawsuits.

Elsewhere in Europe, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have resolved to "" to arrive at a Brexit trade deal. The two leaders had set a Sunday deadline to decide whether a deal would be struck. Both leaders have said negotiators will continue talks this week as the UK's exit from the EU single market approaches December 31.

The pound hit its highest since May 2018 earlier this month, when the British medical regulator approved the first vaccines against COVID-19.
