Rubio Pledges to Dismantle Global Marxist Terror Networks at 65-Nation Summit

Rubio outlined a strategy to dismantle far-left global networks during a ministerial meeting in Washington. The Trump administration is confronting the resurgence of far-left terrorism after years of what it calls an unanswered problem. Secretary Bessent noted the United States designated four far-left Antifa extremist groups as foreign terrorist organizations last fall. The State Department claims these groups attacked private citizens and critical infrastructure in the U.S. and abroad. Rubio told representatives from 65 nations that violent far-left political terrorism must become a global priority. This effort includes forming an international coalition to coordinate actions against these extremist networks.
