Where the framing diverges
The two outlets largely agree on the core fact of the venue change but frame the context differently. The center outlet (Newsweek) ties the move explicitly to 'Trump threats' in its headline, suggesting a politically charged backdrop to the decision. The right outlet (Washington Examiner) presents the move in a more procedural, descriptive manner, focusing on logistical details like the new venue and date without referencing any threats or political pressure.
