The chief executive of Ford Motor Co. (F-N 13.31 0.00 0.00%) complained on Tuesday about Japan's devaluation of the yen and reiterated his opposition to Tokyo entering into free trade talks with the United States under an Asia-Pacific agreement.

The yen has fallen around 8 percent against the dollar this year, driven down by Tokyo's fiscal and monetary policies.
