The European Union's External Action service is facing criticism over allegations that it yielded to pressure from the United States regarding a conference on disinformation. Reports claim the EU diplomatic arm adjusted its handling of the event after American concerns, prompting accusations that Brussels compromised its own stance on disinformation policy to accommodate Washington. Critics say the episode raises questions about the independence of EU foreign policy decision-making.
