What happened

Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted delegations from 66 countries at the State Department on Thursday for a Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism focused on what the Trump administration calls far-left political terrorism. Rubio said U.S. counterterrorism policy has a blind spot toward violence from the political left and urged countries to coordinate across borders. He said the United States would pursue additional terrorist designations for far-left groups, citing Antifa networks and recent political violence, including the killings of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson.
