BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Framing as a repeat incident: the article links the map to a series of prior territorial episodes rather than the isolated image from the weekend.

« The altercation follows a series of other heated clashes between the leaders of countries Mr Trump has suggested the US should seize or annex in a bid to demonstrate growing American influence. »

Reliance on public broadcasters: the Icelandic minister's comments are reported via the national broadcaster RÚV rather than a statement transmitted directly to the press.

« Iceland's Foreign Secretary Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir summoned US Ambassador Billy Long to make it clear the post was unacceptable, national broadcaster RÚV said. »

Low North American coverage: Mexico and Canada are on the map but no official reaction from their governments is cited in the corpus.

« Among those other nations were the US's immediate neighbours, Mexico and Canada, as well as Greenland, Iceland, Cuba, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands and other parts of the Antilles archipelago. »
