Trump Raises Concerns Over Weak Yen in Meeting with Japan's Prime Minister
US President Donald Trump expressed concern over the weakening Japanese yen during a meeting with Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in New York. Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama confirmed ongoing coordination with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on foreign exchange matters. The yen strengthened slightly after the meeting but remains near the 160-per-dollar level amid recent interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan. Market analysts view the remarks as verbal intervention without immediate policy changes, while Japan continues efforts to support the currency.
