News Comment #12
The story is newsworthy because of Trump commenting on the U.S. trade deal with China is not fair for the U.S.
The article is also newsworthy because Trump wants China to put pressure on North Korea to abandon their nuclear plans.
The article only has one picture of President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Associated Press contributed information for the article.
The article has the part about North Korea in the middle. The U.S. trade deal with China surrounds that portion.
There needs to be more information about China and North Korea in the article. That part looks like a sore thumb in the story.
Trump made a few comments on both of these issues. Most of the article is the comments of Trump and Xi.
The audience is political fans, people interested in the trade deal, people interested in what’s happening in North Korea, and people involved in anything Trump is doing.
The lede is compelling because it gives lots of information for a summary of the article. The lede is very long and has two short quotes from Trump.
The point of view is the third person. The comments made by Trump are the first person.
One thing that is missing in the article is there should be more comments from President Xi about the trade deal with the U.S. and North Korea.
One response so far

International economics and finance has to be comlicated stuff. Coverage of Trump’s Asia trip was fine, I suppose. But as the experts and the media get a chance to analyze, critical stories are coming out. Most are saying China was a big winner as a consequence of the US dropping out of TPP.
