Dominant security
the Kathmandu Post builds its narrative around the military lever (arms sales, 1982 statement) rather than around commercial issues or the reception protocol
What the account puts first
South Koreaby omission
the narrative makes Trump's silence on North Korea the main angle rather than a simple statement of no new developments.
Relying on a critical internal American voice
the narrative incorporates Senator Wicker's objections rather than the official Chinese or Korean version of the protocol.
