US Hosts Global Meeting to Address Resurgence of Far-Left Political Terrorism
The United States hosted an international ministerial meeting led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio to address what the administration describes as a resurgence of far-left political terrorism. Rubio characterized this threat as rooted in a hatred of civilization and called for global cooperation to counter it. The event included over 60 delegations and highlighted groups like Antifa. While officials emphasized left-wing extremism, data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies indicates right-wing attacks have historically been more frequent in the US. Critics note the focus on left-wing terrorism overlooks broader trends in domestic extremism.
