Antifa will be designated by the United States as a terrorist organization, President Donald Trump announced early on Sept. 18 while visiting the United Kingdom.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
