BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Belgium's capital is at the center of a Franco-Belgian framing: the three dailies initially rely on the Belga agency and reuse nearly identical formulations about Trump

Belgians show a preference for the Infantino-Trump duo: the detail of the red card and the price of peace occupy a notable place, to the detriment of the detail of the arguments in the letter

Low coverage of the positions of the CAF and CONMEBOL: their non-signature is mentioned without any Belgian source from this pool gathering their direct point of view
