US pressured allies to withdraw from disinformation conference
The United States lobbied allies, including the European Union, Canada, and Lithuania, to withdraw their sponsorship of a conference on disinformation, according to sources. This pressure led to the EU dropping its sponsorship of the #Disinfo2026 conference, with logos being removed from the website days before the event. The US action was reportedly prompted by a panel critical of Washington.
