US, Japan trade talks will include currency: MnuchinWith US-Japan trade talks set to begin Monday, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday any agreement will include a requirement to refrain from manipulating currencies to gain an advantage in international trade. The US priority is that countries “don’t in any way manipulate their currency for purposes of competitive advantages,” Mnuchin told reporters on the sidelines of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is set to hold two days of talks with Japan’s Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi on Monday and Tuesday.
