Thin on the left so far

Only 2 of the 12 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Donald Trump has expressed optimism that a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is nearing completion. He stated that there is a "real good chance" of resolving the conflict and that a deal could be reached at the G20 summit in December. This summit is scheduled to be held at Trump's resort in Doral, Florida. Trump acknowledged the deep hostility between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine but suggested that a breakthrough is possible.

Disagreement on Trump's specific wording

While multiple reports state Donald Trump believes a deal is close, the exact phrasing attributed to him varies. The Express Tribune reported Trump saying, "I think we’re getting very close to making a deal there." In.gr quoted him saying, "I think we are very close to a deal, I have not said this before." Haberler.com reported Trump emphasizing there was a "really good chance" of an end to the conflict. Other reports use phrases such as "hopeful that an agreement will be reached" or that he "does not rule out the possibility" of a deal.

What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated digests mention the specific detail that Donald Trump stated he had not previously said he believed a deal was close, a point highlighted in the left-rated in.gr report.
