The Trump administration will no longer publish public summaries of President Donald Trump’s phone calls with foreign leaders, US media report.

 
Non-public readouts will still be distributed to agencies but press will reportedly be told only certain details of the calls.

Traditionally, both US and foreign heads of state post brief readouts of their conversations after calls.

The White House has not offered reasons for the largely symbolic change. The Trump administration has not responded to US media for comment on the readout changes.

Critics are calling it the Trump administration’s latest move against transparency, though CNN reports it is unclear if the change will be permanent.
