President Trump was upset that Japan and China were making their money worth less compared to the US dollar. This makes it harder for American companies to sell things because their products seem more expensive. He said this was unfair and threatened to make things even more expensive with tariffs (like taxes on imports).
- Trump talked to the leaders of Japan and China about their currency.
- He thinks they're making their money less valuable on purpose to sell more goods.
- The value of the Japanese yen went up a little after Trump's comments.
