US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to visit Japan for three days starting Monday, where he is expected to meet senior officials, including Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama and Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda, according to local media and sources cited by outlets. In Tokyo, Katayama says her team is coordinating closely with Bessent on foreign exchange policy after the two met. Separate reporting also indicates the talks will cover efforts to curb speculative yen selling. Other topics highlighted by at least one outlet include economic security matters such as rare earth procurement and energy purchasing, as well as discussion of the war in Iran. The meetings are expected to take place individually with the prime minister, finance minister and BOJ governor before Bessent travels onward to China, the outlets report. The reports present the visit as focused on currency policy coordination and broader economic-security and international issues.
