Russian fake news and propaganda in the US will no longer be hindered: White House makes statement

Yuri Kobzar20:05, 16.04.25

The United States has completely opened its information space to Russian influence.

The Donald Trump administration has dismantled a government agency that was tasked with countering foreign propaganda and disinformation , including Russian disinformation. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio boasted about the new “achievement” on Platform X.

He said that over the past decade, Americans have been “slandered, fired, accused, and even imprisoned” simply for expressing their opinions. He did not provide any specific facts to support this claim, but he said that “it ends today.”

“I am announcing the closure of the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Countering Information Manipulation and Interference, the former Center for Global Engagement, which cost taxpayers over $50 million per year and actively silenced and censored the voices of the Americans it was supposed to serve,” Rubio wrote.

  1. The United States has completely opened its information space to Russian influence.

    Sputnik, RT and all Russian trolls are now legal news in America.

    This is beyond high treason!

  2. He said that over the past decade, Americans have been “slandered, fired, accused, and even imprisoned” simply for expressing their opinions.

    Does that include the US media that Trump tries to have their licence revoked for expressing opinions?

  3. Anyone with half a brain or more knows that Trump loves putin, and so does many things that please the war criminal. The rest are his fans, and it doesn’t matter if they get their tiny brains washed by him or his russian boyfriend.

    • He’s having a real tantrum today. 3 polls, two of which are right leaning, give him the worst approval ratings of any POTUS after 3 months in office.

      • The trend on other social media sites is also going more negative for the prick.
        The only bad thing about all of this is that the next POTUS will have his hands full trying to repair the destruction that this bonehead has caused.

  4. It is known that the Global Engagement Center (GEC) was created in 2016. It was engaged in countering foreign propaganda and disinformation originating from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
