Progressive:Experimental phased coordination — Progressive outlets emphasize the tentative, pilot-phase nature of the military framework and highlight Aoun's past opposition to Hezbollah's war involvement.

Moderate:Reciprocal diplomatic pressure — Centrist outlets frame the meeting as balancing pressure on multiple parties, with Aoun hoping Trump will constrain Israeli expansion while pursuing Hezbollah disarmament.

Conservative:Counter-terrorism operation — Conservative outlets use direct language characterizing Hezbollah as an Iranian-backed terrorist organization, framing disarmament as a security priority against Iranian influence.
