US President Donald Trump has designated the anti-fascist group Antifa as a terrorist organization, vowing to pursue all of its financiers.
Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, saying: “I am pleased to inform many patriotic Americans that I am designating Antifa, the sick and dangerous radical left-wing disaster, as a major terrorist organization.”
He added, “I will also strongly recommend a comprehensive investigation into Antifa’s funders in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.”
A White House official commented on Trump’s decision, telling CNN: “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left-wing organizations that fuel political violence.”
Two days ago, Trump announced that he was considering designating the anti-fascist movement “Antifa” as a terrorist organization following the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk.
“I’ll do it if I have the support of the people here,” Trump told reporters on Monday, adding that he was seeking Attorney General Pam Bondi’s opinion on the matter.
