US EditionTrump designates anti-fascist Antifa movement as a terrorist organization
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social his intention to classify the anti-fascist movement Antifa as a significant terrorist entity.
- The announcement follows earlier signals made this week after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which some on the right linked to leftist ideology associated with Antifa.
- Antifa is a loosely organized, leaderless social movement lacking centralized structure, making the legal mechanism and practical effects of the designation uncertain.
- Trump characterized Antifa as a harmful and extreme left-wing threat and announced he intends to push for comprehensive investigations into those financially supporting the group, adhering to the strictest legal standards.
- The designation triggered praise from some Republicans but protests from Democrats, while White House officials said it forms part of broader actions to address political violence linked to left-wing groups.
