EU withdraws sponsorship of disinformation conference after Trump officials' request
Original: EU drops sponsorship of disinformation conference at Trump officials’ request
The European Union has dropped its sponsorship of a conference on disinformation after officials in Donald Trump's administration asked it to do so. The move, reported by The Guardian, is drawing attention because it suggests Brussels yielding to US pressure on an issue central to EU policy on protecting information integrity, raising questions about the independence of the bloc's disinformation work.
Why now: The decision suggests the EU caved to pressure from Trump officials on disinformation, a politically sensitive topic.
