Financial Times
United KingdomThe Financial Times is a British daily newspaper, founded in 1888 and based in London, focused on business and economics and owned by the Japanese group Nikkei. Its headlines centre on the United States, the United Kingdom, Iran and China, and more than half of them are economic, with politics the second largest share. Its stance reads as consistently critical of Donald Trump and the United States, and neutral toward most other countries.
Political leaning and stance
The Financial Times is consistently critical of Donald Trump, in a skeptical but measured tone that selects adverse outcomes such as economic strain, legal losses and alliance friction, and the United States is critical or neutral with critical distance. Jeffrey Epstein draws hostile headlines. Iran is treated skeptically, with a focus on costs and risks. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Germany, France and Japan are covered neutrally and in business terms. China is neutral and analytical, with an admiring, commercially focused turn over the summer, and Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky drew critical headlines about internal turmoil in that stretch. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
Who owns Financial Times
