Japan fin min Aso - No comment whether US made demand for FX clause in trade deal

Japanese Finance Minister Aso had trade talks with his US counterpart Treasury Secretary Mnuchin

Earlier post:

• Japan fin min Aso on talks with US - says discussed currency, will continue to do so

Adding this now, worth a new post:

• Won't comment on whether US made demand for to include a clause on currency in their bilateral trade deal

You'll all remember the tweeter in chief and his hissy fits about a weak yuan … Aso is concerned about a similar tantrum on the yen.
