U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on X Sunday that he will meet with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama on Tuesday during a trip to East Asia.
Bessent was set to leave for Japan on Monday.
The U.S. and Japanese officials are expected to discuss currency market developments after Japanese authorities recently intervened in the market, using dollars to buy yen.
