Trump Told Takaichi He Is Concerned About Weak Yen, Katayama Says

President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi he was concerned about yen weakness at their recent summit, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said Sept. 25. A weak yen raises import costs for households and small firms. I'd watch whether U.S. tolerance for yen strength raises the odds of intervention, though no action has been announced.
