• Direct quotation without evaluative framing
• Focus on diplomatic and policy actions
• No use of distancing or delegitimising language
• Occasional inclusion of Trump's self-praise without endorsement

Headlines are predominantly factual and quote Trump directly without overt editorial stance. Headline 25 includes Trump's self-praise ('never makes bad deals') but is presented as a quote, not endorsed. No consistent positive or negative framing toward Trump is evident.

• direct quotation of US officials without evaluative framing
• focus on diplomatic and military actions rather than character or legitimacy
• mix of positive and neutral coverage of US policy moves
• no use of distancing or delegitimizing language toward the US

Coverage is overwhelmingly factual and centered on Trump administration actions and statements; no editorializing or hostile framing toward the US as an entity. However, the bundle is dominated by Trump as a proxy for the US, and some headlines (e.g., 'Trump says no rush to make Iran deal, claims he never makes bad deals') could imply skepticism, but the outlet itself does not adopt a critical tone. Stance is neutral because the outlet reports US actions and statements without praise or condemnation.

• factual reporting of government actions and diplomatic meetings
• no evaluative adjectives or framing of Japan as an entity
• mix of domestic incidents and international diplomacy covered without bias
• entity treated as a normal state actor, not lionized or delegitimized

Coverage is predominantly factual and institutional, focusing on official actions (summits, policy statements, inspections) without positive or negative slant toward Japan as a country. Headlines about domestic incidents (e.g., Yomiuri Giants manager arrest, JAL inspections) are reported neutrally. No consistent pattern of praise or criticism; stance is neutral overall.
