NEW YORK --
Asian countries
including
Japan will closely watch
Tuesday's midterm congressional
elections in the U.S., where gains
by the opposition Democratic
Party
would embolden detractors
of President Donald Trump to
push back against
his policies
in the region.
For Tokyo, a divided government
in Washington could sap
momentum from
upcoming
bilateral talks on trade.
Japan will also be watching
how flipping one or both
houses of Congress
to the
Democrats would influence
the debate over restricting
U.S. trade
partners from
engaging in currency interventions
or entering into trade
deals with
China, with which the Trump administration is locked in a
trade war.
