Contentious G20 shows US needs time to 'adapt': Lagarde

Baden-Baden (Germany) (AFP) - IMF chief Christine Lagarde sought to play down fears over the US weakening international commitments to free trade and climate change Saturday, saying the new White House needed time to "adapt and learn"."Whenever there's a new member at a G20 meeting, there is a process of learning and adaptation," Lagarde told AFP after a finance ministers' gathering in Baden Baden, western Germany.
