Japan's Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato noted that the US Treasuries held by Japan could become one of the bargaining chips in trade talks with the US, though whether or not to use them is another decision, according to foreign media reports. He emphasized that Japan's holdings of US Treasuries are not specifically intended to support the US.

Japan is the largest foreign holder of US Treasuries. Ryosei Akazawa, Japan's Minister in charge of Economic Revitalization and top negotiator, is in Washington for the second round of trade talks this week. The world is closely watching the outcome of these negotiations.
