The US dollar weakened at the open on Monday, pulling back from multi-week highs and underperforming against other major currencies. The move followed renewed geopolitical and trade tensions after President Donald Trump threatened several European countries with new tariffs in an effort to gain control over Greenland. Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland were identified as potential targets, facing a proposed 10% tariff from February 1, which could rise to 25% in June unless an agreement is reached.
