Trump threatens more countries with tariffs as high as 30%
Within this article there are many instances of framing and one sided language by the author, yet the article does include a good amount factual information. For instance, "Trump has delayed his monster tariffs." Using the word "monster" is a strong, negative adjective while it could be interpreted as describing the scale or impact of the tariffs, it also contains a clear negative connotation. This article also lacks any counter arguments and focuses heavily on the threat of tariffs and the delay of deadlines, and impact on American consumers. While these are all valid points, the author does not explore the statements from the Trump administration, it does not dive into the potential positive outcomes that the tariffs might argue for.
