Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, U.S. President Donald Trump and his associates have signaled an all-out war against the left-wing camp, with President Trump announcing on the 17th (local time) that he will designate "Antifa," an anti-fascist and anti-racist movement, as a domestic terrorist organization.

President Trump announced on the social media platform Truth Social, "I am pleased to inform many American patriots that I am designating Antifa, a pathological, dangerous, and radical left disaster, as a major terrorist organization."

He added, "I will also strongly recommend a thorough investigation of those who fund Antifa, in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices."

President Trump and his core support base, the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, have effectively characterized Kirk's assassination as an act of violence by the radical left and have announced various measures of crackdown and retaliation.

On the 15th, President Trump stated regarding the suspect in Kirk's assassination, "He is left-wing. There are a lot of problems with the left, and they are being protected when they shouldn't be."

On the same day, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said, "We will marshal all the anger we feel about this organized campaign that led to this assassination to root out and dismantle terrorist networks. We will deploy all resources of the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and the entire government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these organizations." Yonhap News
