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.

You did the numbers? You sure?

I bet there are more people who also speak English in India or China alone, but adding in every European country should be a large cherry on top.

While there are a lot of English speakers in India, it is not their native language. News about India will be written for Indians and will tend to use their regional language. Same goes for China and most other countries. Even in the EU where news might be interesting to other EU nations, news is often written in the affected nations language.

It's just smart business to make your content tailored to the target audience.
