Trump Expressed Concerns About Yen Weakness, Japan's Finance Minister Says

Former President Donald Trump conveyed concerns about the weakening yen during a recent meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, according to Japan's Finance Minister.

The discussion between Trump and Takaichi, who was then leading a delegation, touched upon the foreign exchange market, with Trump specifically mentioning the yen's slide against the dollar.

The yen has experienced a significant depreciation against the U.S. dollar over the past year, a trend that has drawn attention from global financial observers and policymakers. This weakness can make Japanese exports cheaper but increases the cost of imports for the country.
