The US has informed coun­tries in Europe that it is step­ping back from joint efforts to com­bat dis­in­form­a­tion from coun­tries such as Rus­sia, China and Iran, accord­ing to three European offi­cials famil­iar with the mat­ter.

European coun­tries received a notice from the state depart­ment last week that the US was ter­min­at­ing memor­anda of under­stand­ing signed under Joe Biden’s admin­is­tra­tion, which sought to forge a uni­fied approach to identi­fy­ing and expos­ing mali­cious inform­a­tion spread by for­eign gov­ern­ments seek­ing to sow chaos.

The move comes as Don­ald Trump’s admin­is­tra­tion has dis­mantled agen­cies across gov­ern­ment that sought to pro­tect the integ­rity of US elec­tions and to com­bat for­eign malign influ­ence at home and abroad.

The memor­anda were part of an ini­ti­at­ive led by the Global Engage­ment Cen­ter, a state depart­ment agency that tackled dis­in­form­a­tion spread over­seas by US adversar­ies and ter­ror groups.

James Rubin, who served as head of the centre until Decem­ber, described the decision as a “uni­lat­eral act of dis­arm­a­ment” in the inform­a­tion war with Rus­sia and China. “Inform­a­tion war­fare is a real­ity of our time and arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence is only going to mul­tiply the risks from that,” Rubin said.
