Former US President Donald Trump met former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso on Tuesday night in New York after warning of damage to US industry from the dollar hovering around a 34-year high versus the yen.
Trump said it was a “great honor” via a Truth Social post to meet Aso. In another post, the former president criticized the high US dollar-yen exchange rate, saying it was “a total disaster for the United States” as manufacturers and companies would lose business and be forced to build plants overseas.
