What each one tells
opposition
BelgiumBrussels sees this summit as a protocol staging rather than a diplomatic breakthrough: it is by breaking with tradition - a personal welcome at the airport, a red carpet, a state banquet - that Trump compensates for his political weakness, while the only concrete progress remains the extension of the trade truce until January 10.

Protocol
the coverage highlights the pomp of the reception (red carpet, gun salutes, military flyover) rather than the content of the discussions.
Omission of strategic stakes
the financial analysis deals with the Fed's policy and IA investment strategies without mentioning Taiwan or Iran.
What the account puts first
BelgiumProtocol
the narrative emphasizes the symbolic gesture of reception rather than the content of the talks.
Omission of substance
power issues are cited as agenda items without any concrete results being reported.
Poll-based support
the Flemish analysis relies on an opinion survey rather than direct diplomatic sources.
- Thailand
Reliance on a foreign dispatch
the diplomatic aspect (Taiwan, Iran, IA) comes from an Associated Press dispatch reproduced verbatim, without any original Thai reporting on the content of the talks.
