Summary of the front page
The Financial Times says savers withdrew nearly $60bn from US banks Charles Schwab, State Street and M&T in the first quarter as customers moved their money in search of higher interest rates.

Judge orders Donald Trump’s name removed from Kennedy Center memorial

What’s happening?
A federal judge has ordered the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center’s Honors memorial after a legal review. The decision has sparked public discourse on Trump’s influence and ongoing legal challenges.
In comparing two headlines: “Trump says he has ‘no interest’ in Kennedy Center after judge orders his name removed from memorial” (The Guardian) and “Live Updates: Trump’s Name Must Be Removed From Kennedy Center, Judge Rules” (The New York Times), distinct framing emerges. The Guardian’s headline emphasizes Trump’s disinterest following the ruling, suggesting a personal distance from the institution. In contrast, The New York Times focuses on the legal necessity of the judge’s order, framing the situation more as a procedural update than an emotional reaction. This distinction highlights the different editorial angles: one leaning towards personal sentiment and the other towards judicial process.
