What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Trump’s statement that the U.S. is willing to help Russia in response to a suspected plague scare. Axios adds the most context, saying he had not spoken with Vladimir Putin and framing the item around a potential pneumonic plague outbreak and international concern. Fox News keeps the coverage tighter and, in its extract, is the only outlet to mention the dead person worked at an anti-plague facility.
