What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Putin is Trump's Daddy.
Holy fuck Putin must be 105 then if trumps 90
15 is a little young to be a dad.
... Bruh
Turd is Putrid's bitch
Yeah, we know, he loves the weak leaders.
Article appears to be fake news, with the source it cites not mentioning it at all. It doesn't even mention Putin
It's in the 3 minute video linked in the article. For obvious reasons they don't want to print that statement.
I can't find a source for it
The clickbait headline combined with a random news website doesn't exactly build trust
Trump’s remarks were reported by Stephanie Ruhle, host of the program The 11th Hour on MSNBC.
At least mis-headlined, agreed.
While Putin is Iran's strongest ally
They link to a msnbc live article that doesn't say this at all. Don't blindly trust headlines like these.

You already responded this exact comment so you are clearly being ignorant on purpose.

From the MCNBC video:
"He said
I would clearly say that he expressed more trust in Putin than any of our European Allies"
The reporter is saying that she believes that Trump is more loyal to Russia than Europe. That is not quite the same as Trump admitting to trusting Russia more.
