CHICAGO -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin plans to talk with Japan's Finance Minister Taro Aso about trade, including a requirement to refrain from manipulating currencies to gain an advantage in cross-border trade -- a measure to which Japan is strongly opposed.
A senior officer said on Tuesday that the talks will focus on trade issues, and the negotiations will include a measure to prevent from manipulating currencies. The meeting will be held on the sidelines of the Group of 20 gathering in Fukuoka on June 8 and 9.
