I can't believe every leader in the world is such a weak ass bitch!

What possible benefit is there to kowtowing to Trump?
The EU is in an unfortunate position coming into winter.
It remains reliant on a traditional, key ally to get through the current situation/s. Now that ally is turning up the pressure for their advantage, they need long term planning mixed with short term diplomacy (a.k.a. ass licking).
You can call the politicians that put it here what you want, but it doesn't change the situation.
I do appreciate that they did an incredibly poor job of hastily 'removing' the countries from the displayed poster.
Trump administration once again showing a total lack of self-awareness or basic nous. As though they think doing this will remove all suspicion from them, and not make them look totally guilty.
Lithuania supposedly found a panel framing the US as a foreign information threat “reprehensible and surprising”
The truth often is to demagogue scumbags 🤬
That panel – called “USA as a FIMI threat: adapt, acknowledge, push back”, with the acronym FIMI referring to “foreign information manipulation and interference” – took place on Wednesday. It explored how Europe’s disinformation community could rebuild resilience without Washington
Could? Fucking HAS to!
and is the first time the conference appears to have entertained the idea that the US could be a disinformation actor in Europe.
That's a dereliction of duty so immense that the Trump kakistocracy probably has absolutely nothing to fear from these timid fuckers regardless of who sponsors the conference 😮💨
Despite withdrawing its branding as an official supporter, the EU continues to fund the conference.
In statements, Lithuania, Canada and the EU said the program of the conference did not align with their official views on the US role in disinformation

Canada's withdrawal comes the same week the Globe and Mail reported that some people involved in campaigning for Alberta independence had met on both sides of the border with U.S. entities.
GAC's move also comes as the country is embroiled in an often bitter and personal trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

They've come a long way to break that glass floor and build a crawlspace under their all-time low, baby.

Not that they haven't already, but can they make their MO any more obvious?
WTF! Our European leaders need to know they're fucked if they bend to that type of bullshit.
No, you don't get it. This is tactical EU appeasing to the Orange to buy time and then we'll get independent, take that Orange!!!! /s
But really I feel horrible, I had a feeling that EU was like at least 1% more independent.
All Republicans can eat the barrel of their second amendment rights and squeeze things
