US pressures EU to drop sponsorship of anti-disinformation panel

The US reportedly pressured the EU to withdraw sponsorship of a conference panel framing the US as a foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) threat. The panel, titled 'USA as a FIMI threat: adapt, acknowledge, push back,' signals a shift in transatlantic discourse on information warfare. The move highlights friction between allies over disinformation narratives, though the extent of the pressure and EU response remain unclear.
