The European Union, Canada, and Lithuania have all withdrawn their sponsorship and support for the Disinfo 2026 conference set to take place in Vilnius due to pressure from the United States. Reports indicate that US officials lobbied allies to cut ties with the event, which included a panel that was critical of Washington and discussed the US as a potential source of foreign interference. Despite the backlash, France has chosen to maintain its support for the conference, highlighting the tensions between transatlantic partners over disinformation narratives.
