Japan rules out the possibility of using US Treasury bonds as bargaining chips

According to BlockBeats, on April 20th, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated today that Japan will emphasize "fairness" in any discussions with the United States regarding currency issues. Some analysts said that Japan could use its holdings of more than $1 trillion of US treasury bond as trade leverage, but Japanese Finance Minister Kato Shengxin ruled out the possibility of using it as a bargaining chip this month. When asked whether Japan would mention its holdings of US treasury bond in the negotiations, Shigeru said: "This is based on mutual trust, global economic stability and the economic stability of the two countries."
