The U.S. dollar declined in late trading on Friday against the British pound on hopes that there will be a Brexit breakthrough.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold talks with President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, on Monday to discuss how Britain leaves the European Union, Downing Street announced on Friday.

The meeting is part of a continuing effort by the British government to seek a Brexit deal before the Halloween deadline, a Downing Street spokeswoman said.

"We are working hard to get a deal and having discussions about a deal, but there is a long way to go," she added.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, decreased 0.06 percent at 98.2532 in late trading.
