See the framing, then strip it

Here is how one outlet opened its report. Switch the framing off to see what is left.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called his trip to the G7 summit "a great success," citing other leaders' interest in the memorandum of understanding with Iran and the agreement's impact on the stock market and oil prices.


What every outlet agreed on

President Trump attended the G7 summit, where he discussed a memorandum of understanding with Iran. The agreement was a major topic at the summit. Trump held a press conference as the G7 wrapped up.

NPR and NBC News emphasized that many questions remain and that there are calls to release full details of the Iran deal. Newsmax framed the G7 as a 'great success' for Trump, citing positive market and oil price impacts. The Hill reported Trump's caution that the deal is not yet final and that the U.S. could 'resume strikes' if needed. We keep contested points like this in attributed form rather than stating them as settled fact.
