US President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a major terrorist organisation, days after the killing of his close aide and right-wing political activist, Charlie Kirk. Mr Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform that he is designating Antifa, a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster, as a major terrorist organisation.
He said the funding of Antifa will be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.
Trump did not elaborate on what parameters his administration would use to make the characterisation and what actions he would take to target a left-leaning movement. Antifa does not seem to have a centralised structure or any defined leadership.
