Pravda / RT-aligned Russian media
Russian state
RT is a Russian government-funded international broadcaster that consistently follows Kremlin foreign policy positions. After Trump returned to office in January 2025, RT's coverage was notably warmer toward him than its Biden-era reporting had been, framing his skepticism of NATO and openness to negotiating with Moscow as pragmatic; that coverage grew more complicated when Trump threatened Russia with tariffs and secondary sanctions in mid-2025. The network operates primarily online and via satellite after being banned in the EU and UK in 2022.
