 "Shinzo Abe")
Japan’s Shinzo Abe told US President Donald Trump that it’s dangerous to broach the topic of currencies, the prime minister said on Sunday.
The comment came in a television debate with lawmaker Shigeru Ishiba, his rival in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party leadership election on Thursday, as Abe addressed U.S.-Japan relations.
He added that Trump hasn’t attacked Japan on the topic of currencies since their first meeting. In January 2017, Trump said Japan and China “play the devaluation market,” a charge Japan’s top currency official refuted.
Asked about Japan’s public finances, Abe said Japan needs to fully escape
