World News is always bound to be dominated by the news of the spoken language. While English is spoken very broadly, the US is the dominant speaker by population. Most "international" news will be written in the native language of the afflicted area. Since people here want English content, you're going up see mostly English speaking areas. Since the US is the largest, it'll be mostly US news.

If you don't like it, start sourcing interesting English content about non-english locations.

So if my quick math is right the news should be about 2/3s USA

331 million in the USA vs 132 million in Canada, UK, and Australia.

I mean it seems more then 2/3s, and I am not including the other 86 English speaking countries…

To do the math correctly, you’d need to start with their respective presence on the fediverse instead of the population by country.
