BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Focus on U.S. legal proceedings: the narrative centers on litigation before the International Trade Court, providing limited space for reactions from affected third parties such as the European Union.

Reliance on American institutional sources through the California Attorney General's statement, without direct commentary from the White House or the U.S. Trade Representative.

Limited coverage of concrete economic consequences for France and other nations; the emphasis remains on the U.S. legal framework rather than on the commercial impact for affected businesses.
