US President Donald Trump has reignited controversy by pledging to designate the anti-fascist movement Antifa as a 'major terrorist organisation', despite significant legal obstacles that could render such a move unconstitutional.
Trump made the declaration during his United Kingdom visit on 17 September, calling the loosely affiliated activist network a 'sick, dangerous, radical left disaster' on his Truth Social platform. He promised investigations into 'those funding Antifa' while adhering to 'the highest legal standards and practices'.
