Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent(@SecScottBessent):The framework for the U.S.-Japan alliance begins with the strong relationship between @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae. We've been in close contact with our Japanese allies, and they are making serious efforts to address the substantial undervaluation of the yen. Through our conversations, we believe they will continue to put the right policies in place to lead the yen’s return to a more normal equilibrium price. Currency intervention is a signal that governments want to change a direction. But only strong, effective policies will result in sustained yen strength.
