Trump’s Deal With Russia Inflames War He Vowed to Swiftly End
The Ukrainian president’s defiant decision to continue attacking Russian refineries underscores President Trump’s inability to end a war he had promised to resolve.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Trump’s deal with Russia, but they frame it differently. The New York Times treats the agreement as evidence of a failed promise to quickly end the war, and its extract is the only one that mentions Ukraine’s president and attacks on Russian refineries. The Hill stays more interpretive and open-ended, asking what the deal actually means rather than asserting a narrative.
