'Poisonous Far-Left masked as equality': Rubio calls out extremist groups as US hosts global meet

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on ‌Thursday launched a U.S-led push to focus international counterterrorism efforts on what he called "far-left terror," telling officials from more than 60 countries that leftist violence had been overlooked.In a speech opening a Washington conference called the Ministerial ​on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, Rubio said the threat from Islamic militancy was "severely diminished" ​thanks to coordinated international efforts. "We can and we must identify and map this threat and rebuild our ​counterterrorism architecture to defeat it," Rubio said, describing a transnational threat from groups who target politicians ​and infrastructure that he said were motivated by a hatred of the West and its success. President Donald Trump has made countering left-wing groups a priority. Trump singled out the movement on the campaign trail in 2024, and vowed to take ​action against left-wing groups he accuses of fomenting violence after the killing of conservative activist ​and Trump ally Charlie Kirk last year.
