Japan fin min Kato says will closely monitor impact of Trump’s policies on Japan’s economy

Japan finance minister Kato:

• will closely monitor impact of Trump’s policies on Japan’s economy

We had a politician in Japan posting a warning earlier:

• Japan DPP head says Trump policies can intensify inflation, push USD/JPY higher

I’m digging up a bit more on this and will have I’ll have more to come separately.
