(Washington) Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the designation of the antifa movement, a generic term which designates far left groups claiming to be anti -fascism, as “terrorist” organization, a week after the assassination of the ultra -conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
“I am pleased to inform our many American patriots that I designate Antifa, a disaster on the radical, sick and dangerous left, as a terrorist organization,” said the American president on his Truth Social network, using capital letters.

“I would also forcefully recommend that the Funda Antifa are subject to in-depth investigation, in accordance with the most strict legal standards and practices,” said Donald Trump, who is currently in the United Kingdom for a state visit.
The White House had announced at the start of the week its intention to repress what it describes as “interior terrorism” on the left after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Tyler Robinson, the suspect of this assassination, is presented by a large part of the right as an “extreme left” killer, because he had denounced to his relatives the “hatred” conveyed according to him by Mr. Kirk and used engraved ammunition of inscription with anti -fascist tone.
He was formally charged Tuesday by the authorities who requested the capital punishment against him.
Figure of the 31 -year -old American right, Charlie Kirk used his millions of subscribers on social networks and his interventions in universities to defend Donald Trump with youth and disseminate his nationalist, Christian and traditionalist ideas on the family.
