Le Figaro · January 2026

• foregrounds US actions as controversial or threatening
• uses distancing verbs and quotes from critics
• highlights internal contradictions and negative consequences
• frames US policy as aggressive or overreaching

Coverage focuses heavily on Trump administration actions and statements, often quoting critics or highlighting negative impacts, but some headlines are neutral factual reports. The entity is 'US' broadly, but most headlines center on the Trump administration, which is treated skeptically.

• predominantly domestic news coverage
• no evaluative language toward the country as an entity
• mix of crime, politics, sports, and cultural events

The entity is a country (FR), not a person; coverage is broad and factual across many topics, with no consistent stance toward France as a whole. Headlines are mostly neutral reporting of events within France, not evaluative of the country itself.

• Quotes Trump's threats and demands as authoritative
• Frames Trump as a dominant actor shaping global events
• Includes positive third-party endorsements of Trump
• Occasional critical coverage (polls, contradictions) but not dominant

Headlines 9 and 12 show some critical distance (poll weakness, contradiction), but the majority treat Trump's words as consequential and newsworthy, and several amplify praise from others (NATO secretary, Nobel laureate). The outlet's own voice is not hostile; it reports Trump's actions and statements as central facts.
