Secretary of State Marco Rubio is will meet with delegations from scores of countries this week for a summit focused on the neglected threat posed by “the resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism.”
ABC News reports that a note shared with foreign governments describes the concept of the meeting as addressing a threat that “has remained a blind spot in the international community’s counterterrorism focus, underestimated and under-resourced, despite the danger it poses.”
State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told Newsmax that the Trump administration is taking seriously the gaps that have persisted for decades in counterterrorism strategy.
The conference seeks to combat international organizations, specifically the decentralized antifa movement, which the administration has formally designated as a domestic terrorist organization.
Law enforcement and counterterrorism experts have exposed a “clear trend” of “globally networked, politically-motivated terrorists — particularly far-left terrorists” increasingly turning to “organized, deadly violence to advance their political objectives.”
The gathering will include senior ministers from over 60 countries — including nations across Europe, Latin America, Asia, as well as India and Israel—to discuss intelligence sharing and law enforcement cooperation.
The meeting, scheduled to take place in Washington on Thursday, will lay the foundation for “coordinated action” to counter international organizations that are “seeking to implement an extreme political vision through intimidation and coordinated campaigns of terror” according to ABC News.
The initiative aligns with a new U.S. counterterrorism strategy released in May 2026 that prioritizes “violent secular political groups” alongside traditional threats.
Some allies and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other critics have accused the administration of utilizing counterterrorism authorities to target politically opposed but peaceful activists and donors, according to ABC News.
The State Department has clarified that the terrorist designations are aimed at groups that are “engaged in violent terrorist activities such as kidnapping, targeting U.S. law enforcement, targeting the civilian population.”

Weren’t the democRATs collaborating with ANTIFA?
The media will probably be puzzled by this term “Far Left”. Whatever can it mean? Is such a thing even possible? Is Rubio perhaps speaking about Moderates like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Elizabeth Warren and Mamdani?
The ‘RATs are probably planning with ANTIFA/BLM to have more “mostly peaceful” gatherings leading up to midterm elections.
President Trump had better start focusing on on the DSA here in the U.S. and start making arrests.
I remember explicitly reporting on a Congress member bailing some that were in jail out.
Can’t remember the name.
It was a Democrat from California I believe.
Kamala Harris was coordinating fundraising to bail out jailed ANTIFA/BLM too.
Rioters would go on to inflict more than $1 BILLION in damage on American communities and murder retired police officer David Dorn.
Anti-ICE and anti-Data Center are the 2 prominent organizing issues in the US. Anti-Data Center is worldwide.
Every player needs to be identified and the role that they play. But not every role is illegal and not every player will be prosecuted.
We need to think both strategically and tactically.
ICE is the best example. The Bovino type tactics in MN put the whole ICE effort back many months and many illegals.
The Data Center people need to learn good PR strategy.
Make the Data Centers “warm and fuzzy”, not so cold and rigid in both appearance and reality.
He’ll be the only one there.
Marco is the hardest working politician I have ever seen.
I agree, Marco works hard AND smart AND ethically. If only more government employees followed his example.
