Following the scandal over Lithuania, along with the EU and Canada, withdrawing support for a conference on disinformation in Vilnius due to US pressure, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys says that the US cannot be compared to Russia and China.

At the center of American annoyance was a panel titled "The US as a FIMI Threat," with the Trump administration asking governments not to participate in the European conference #Disinfo2026.
