WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration plans to adopt shorter communiques and generally revamp how the Group of Seven rich nations does its work when the United States leads the body in 2020, a White House adviser said.

Shaw said the Trump administration was looking at what changes could be made during the year that the United States runs the group.
