Sanae Takaichi: “The move was “not consistent with Japan’s position” and that Japan viewed it “with great concern.””

At the Japan-U.S. leadership meeting, they spoke of the difficulties American trade is facing due to the weak yen, to which I responded that as a rule of thumb an undervalued yen is a problem.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi played up the strength of the alliance between the two countries.

There’s no change to my thinking that we will continue to pursue a strong economy and sustainable government finances based on responsible and proactive fiscal policy.

The occurrence of the heinous crime is extremely regrettable.
