12 countries this edition, with the US covered across diplomacy, economy, security, sport and culture rather than one single story. Big items include a Palestinian visa denial at the UN, a $40 trillion debt milestone, Russia sanctions moving through Congress and the Fed's first rate move since 2023. Alongside those sit the men's World Cup, a Solheim Cup finish, a Kenyan athlete's US season and a US rights inquiry into Tanzania.

11 countries. The Dallas convention and the $5,000 election promise lead in several places, but they share the page with a record hot American summer, reading scores at a 25 year low, a boat strike in the Caribbean, a cholesterol trial run jointly in China and the US, and a fashion week essay from Istanbul. Trade runs underneath much of it: Canadian drink, Kenyan clothing, Korean investment and a Bombardier threat.

11 countries. Trade dominates the wires today as Washington bans Canadian drink, dairy and motorcycles and Ottawa's counter-tariffs bite, with knock-on stories from a Japanese brewery shifting production to a Chinese fund manager watching the Fed. Around that: the Iran sanctions campaign, Rubio in Colombia, a Republican midterms convention in Dallas, deportation flights into Equatorial Guinea, a UN vote to redraw the world map, an argument over who reaches AGI first, and the US Open.

11 countries. Diplomacy leads today: Rubio opens a Latin America tour, Tokyo and Seoul manoeuvre around the Xi visit later this month, and Trump's envoys move between Moscow and Kyiv. Around that, outlets carry the Canada tariff fight, pressure on the Fed, a bond market warning, a court ruling on deportation over speech, new limits on international student internships, the Iran tanker war, an Iceland map protest, and lighter items from the US Open to the box office.

12 countries. The run-up to the midterms leads, with a judge extending the block on limits to mail ballots and an armed attack on a candidate in Ohio. Around that, outlets pick up pressure on the Fed, the $40 trillion debt mark, the September visit by Xi Jinping, AI safety talks with Beijing, US operations in the Gulf and off Ecuador, the UN vote on a new world map, trade terms for Kenya and Argentina, and lighter items from the US Open to the box office.

12 countries. The midterm season opening dominates, with mail voting fights in the courts and a strong August jobs report read as a political event abroad. Around that, outlets lead on the Iran conflict and fuel prices, chip and drone tariffs, AI rules at the G20, a Pentagon resignation, a New York stabbing, birthright citizenship, and sport and culture from the US Open to BTS in Los Angeles.

12 countries. The Iran war and the Venezuela oil deal lead abroad, but the day is wide: a G20 fight over AI rules, 50 percent tariffs on Canada, the Charlie Kirk murder trial, a UN human rights review the US skipped, an ICC sanction, data centres as a midterm issue, Pacific aid, sunscreen science, the World Cup and the US Open.

11 countries. The renewed exchange of fire with Iran leads abroad, but the day is wide: a G20 push for light AI rules, a $40 trillion debt, the Massachusetts primary, a mass visa revocation plan, courts blocking deportations, the Lake Ontario renaming row, yen intervention talk, Kenyan health deals, the World Cup payoff and the US Open.

12 countries. Renewed US strikes on Iran lead the day, but the wider picture is broad: the G20 finance meeting in North Carolina, a $40 trillion debt milestone, a cyber breach blamed on Chinese hackers, a court fight over visas, the Lake Ontario renaming row with Canada, World Cup football and the US Open.

11 countries. No single American story owns the day. Foreign editors spread their attention across the $40 trillion debt milestone, a Chinese hacking network broken up by US agencies, courts pushing back on tariffs and visa bans, the Iran sanctions campaign, Syria's removal from the terrorism list, and a World Cup exit. Mexico leads on football, France leads on Dolly Parton and the Fed, and Kenya looks at the fine print of US health money.

12 countries. The Meta child-safety settlement is the day's most widely carried American story, running in Paris, Brussels and Nairobi, with each outlet asking what a US courtroom deal means for its own users. Iran sanctions and the Canada tariff fight dominate the economic pages in Doha, Ankara and Mexico City, while Seoul, Tokyo and Buenos Aires track what Washington wants from them. Away from politics there is Dolly Parton's death, a fencing federation betting on the LA Games, and a fight over whether the Kennedy Center gets torn down.

12 countries. The $40 trillion US debt figure travels furthest today, carried by Al Jazeera, Euronews and, with relish, Russian state television. The Iran sanctions push shapes coverage in Doha, Ankara and Johannesburg, while Seoul and Kyiv track what Washington is promising them and what it is quietly withholding. Away from geopolitics, outlets pick up the dropped Powell investigation, a lawsuit by Democratic states over tariffs, troops on the streets of Washington, and a promised golden age of American spaceflight.

11 countries today. The Canada tariff breakdown and the Iran economic campaign lead in most places, but the day is wider than that: a 400 million dollar TikTok privacy settlement, a 40 trillion dollar debt milestone, the Hawk fire outside Reno, a White House ballroom being carved in Italy, a Meta trial read from Nairobi, space launch plans, an F-35 lobbying push in Washington, US fencing before the LA Games, and a fourth weekend at the top of the American box office.

10 countries today. The Iran sanctions push and the carrier swap in the Gulf still lead abroad, but the day spreads wider than that: a federal trial over Meta and children, US debt past 40 trillion dollars, the shortened Korea drills, Chinese countermeasures on trade, a Kakao Mobility listing in New York, an Argentine anti-abortion pact signed in Buenos Aires, and Carlos Alcaraz cleared for the US Open.

11 countries today. The Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz standoff still set the tone abroad, and Washington's new sanctions on the ICC president drew notice from Paris to Mexico City. Around that, the day spreads wide: US debt passing 40 trillion dollars, a last-minute tariff reprieve for Canada, the Korea drills cut back hours before they began, a Wall Street exodus seen from Istanbul, Kenyan coffee exports doubling, Russian watches selling well in America, and the world's ugliest dog.

12 countries today. The shortened Korea drills, the Strait of Hormuz standoff and Kushner's stalled Gaza talks lead abroad, but the day also brings a fight over US data policy, license plate surveillance, fuel prices reshaping daily American routines, a Hollywood star for Angelique Kidjo, Argentine unease about Chinese firms in Vaca Muerta, and Mexican coverage of Washington skipping a UN human rights review.

11 countries today. The scaled back Korea drills and the collapse of the US and Iran memorandum lead in Asia and the Gulf, but the day also brings record low reservoirs in the American West, a paused border wall in a Texas national park, trade friction with Brussels, an ICE detention case in Virginia, and a Kenyan basketball star leaving the WNBA for the Australian off season.

11 countries today. The Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz still lead in the Gulf and in Ankara, but tariffs are the other running story: drone duties in Brussels, a lawsuit from Democratic states, a Korean trade envoy back in Washington. Around them sit a citizenship crackdown that reaches Lagos, Fauci taking the Fifth, a stalled Patriot supply in Kyiv, an American flagged ship firing on Ecuadorian fishing boats, and a survey showing how far US standing has slipped in Tokyo.

12 countries today. The Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz still lead in the Gulf and in Kyiv, but the spread is wide: a guilty plea in a New York courtroom, a campus shooting in Virginia, a US organ donation shutdown that worries Chinese students, a revoked visa for a former Mexican president's son, a Kenyan extradition case, a Disney showcase in Anaheim and a Chinese animated film opening across North America.

11 countries today, with US coverage spread across politics, the economy, energy, science, immigration, courts, diplomacy, trade, defense and culture. The US naval blockade of Iran and a warning that the war could end soon share the page with a contested Wisconsin primary, a boom in gas plants built to feed AI, a fight over US climate science, a lawsuit against Trump over paid access to his social posts, and Washington's pressure on Argentina over a Huawei deal.

11 countries today, with US coverage spread across the Iran war, the economy, defense, immigration, courts, diplomacy, tech and society.

11 countries today, with US coverage spread across climate, trade, tech, immigration, courts, diplomacy, defense and society.

10 countries today, with US coverage spread across tech, trade, immigration, diplomacy, courts, culture, sport and society.

10 countries, from Iran strike diplomacy and a new wave of tariffs to a US walkout at the UN, plus courts, immigration, infrastructure and the mood toward America abroad.

11 countries. Foreign coverage of America is wider than any single story today. The new US tariffs on 60 partners and the war with Iran are still the biggest threads, but outlets are also covering the country's 250th anniversary and its deepening divisions, the aftermath of the World Cup, a court freezing the Paramount and Warner Bros merger, US and China planning AI talks, the race to lead the UN, and US dealings from Kenya to Ukraine.

11 countries. The US war with Iran leads coverage almost everywhere as US Central Command wraps an eleventh night of strikes and Trump threatens to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant for every attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Tariffs run a close second, with fresh US duties on Brazil taking effect and a 30 percent rate hanging over Mexico and the EU.

12 countries. The eleventh straight night of US strikes on Iran leads coverage nearly everywhere, with Washington now putting the war's cost at $37.5 billion and Trump saying he has no interest in talks for now. Tariff fights are the second thread, from Canada and Mexico to Brazil and the African trade programme AGOA.

12 countries. The reignited US-Iran war dominates coverage abroad: US forces pressed a tenth day of strikes as the American death toll reached 17, Iran called it a full-scale war, and Trump vowed Tehran would pay. New 50% US tariffs on Canadian goods and Trump's revived election-fraud claims against China also travel widely.

11 countries. The deepening US-Iran war leads coverage abroad: the US completed a ninth straight night of strikes as the American death toll reached 17 and Iran's leadership called the ceasefire worthless. The World Cup final outside New York, where Trump was booed while handing Spain the trophy over Argentina, and his revived China election-fraud claims also travel widely.

11 countries. Trump's Thursday night primetime address dominates coverage: he accused China of the largest compromise of election data in history, said Beijing took files on 220 million US voters and ordered intelligence declassified, all while reviving his 2020 stolen-election claims.
