The move comes a week after the assassination of conservative organizer Charlie Kirk

US President Donald Trump has announced that he is officially designating the left-wing Antifa movement as a terrorist organization.

The decision comes a week after the assassination of conservative podcaster and organizer Charlie Kirk during his college speaking tour. Senior Republican officials, including Vice President J.D. Vance, have attributed the murder to “left-wing extremism.”

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Wednesday evening.

He added that those funding Antifa should be “thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.”
