Trump says Ukraine should ‘get a new president’ after U.S.-Russia diesel deal
Ukraine’s Zelensky "wants to make problems for the world," Trump said Saturday, a day after praising Russia’s Putin.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as Trump striking a deal with Putin to import or release Russian diesel in an effort to lower fuel prices, and several of them also note pressure from the midterms. The main divergence is emphasis: Axios, The Guardian US, BBC and AP foreground Ukraine’s anger or criticism, while Fox News and CBS stress the promise of cheaper gas for Americans. Only a few outlets, including NBC and CBS, spell out quantities or immediate releases of diesel.
