"The State Department on July 16, 2026, hosted what officials billed as a
ministerial on the resurgence of left-wing political terrorism.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio invited representatives from more than 60
countries to Washington to hear an argument that many of them appear not to
believe: that a transnational far-left terrorist movement called antifa
threatens the democratic world. At the event, allies were asked to mobilize
against that enemy despite nations like the Netherlands and Germany politely
noting to their host that they cannot find evidence of any such group.
Some intelligence analysts have declined to brief on antifa at interagency
meetings because they do not regard it as a serious counterterrorism threat.
As a terrorism scholar who spent a decade running the State Department office
that designates terrorist organizations, I understand their confusion. The
threat the administration describes does not exist in the form the
administration describes it."
