In a rare and bold statement on live TV, Japan’s Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato acknowledged the country’s massive $1.13 trillion investment in U.S. Treasury bonds — and hinted it could be used as leverage. When asked if Japan might use its holdings in trade negotiations, Kato replied, “It does exist as a card.”
This marks a major shift. Japan typically avoids even implying it could sell off U.S. debt, but rising trade tensions have pushed it to speak out. Earlier this year, the U.S. under President Trump proposed new tariffs targeting countries like Japan, creating uncertainty in global markets. Japan remained quiet at first, but Kato’s comments now send a strong warning: Japan is prepared to respond.
After tense meetings in Washington over disputes on cars, energy, and agriculture, Japan is showing it won’t be pushed into unfair deals. Kato’s unusually direct statement signals Tokyo’s readiness to defend its interests.
Analysts say even hinting at using U.S. debt as a strategic tool could rattle Wall Street — and it might inspire similar moves from other major U.S. debt holders like China.
With trade talks ongoing, Japan has made its position clear:
Respect our interests, or risk economic consequences.

Former President Donald Trump has called for Japan to strengthen the yen during ongoing U.S.-Japan trade negotiations, shifting the focus from tariffs to currency policy. He accused Japan of past currency manipulation, a claim firmly denied by Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato, who emphasized Japan’s recent efforts to support, not weaken, the yen.
Economists warn that forcing a yen appreciation could damage Japan’s recovery, compromise the Bank of Japan’s independence, and destabilize U.S. financial markets. Speculation is also growing over a broader U.S. strategy to weaken the dollar, informally dubbed the “Mar-a-Lago Accord,” potentially targeting countries like Japan with significant currency reserves.
Trump’s underlying aim appears to be reducing the U.S. trade deficit through currency realignment—raising concerns across global financial markets.
