Trump signals US intervention to stabilize Japanese yen

President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States is actively supporting the Japanese yen, framing the move as a strategic gesture of friendship. The intervention aims to arrest the currency’s slide to 40-year lows, a shift that officials in Tokyo and Washington believe is essential for broader global economic stability.

The president noted that the assistance follows a direct request from Tokyo, highlighting the strength of the bilateral relationship despite historical tensions. While addressing reporters on Sunday, Trump emphasized that Japan has been a reliable partner, offering a brief nod to the complexities of history before pivoting to current fiscal cooperation.

Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama is expected to formalize the details of this joint market action on Monday. According to government sources, the coordinated effort is designed to counteract the yen's sustained depreciation, which has reached levels not seen in four decades. By stepping into the currency markets, both nations are signaling a commitment to preventing further volatility that could threaten fragile economic recovery patterns.
