The GEC at the State Department has the mission to direct, lead, coordinate, and synchronize the U.S. Government’s efforts to understand and counter state and non-state-sponsored propaganda and disinformation.

The focus of the discussion was on countering violent extremist and terrorist propaganda and disinformation .
