The White House said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order to formally classify the country's left-wing radical "Anti-Fascist Movement" (ANTIFA) as a domestic "terrorist organization".

ANTIFA is not a unified organization, but a loose network of leftist and anarchist groups, mainly opposed to white supremacism and far-right activities. In recent years, its members have been active in multi-local protests, sparking disagreements among supporters and critics. Trump has previously repeatedly named ANTIFA and called for its listing as a terrorist organization, but is limited to U.S. laws that only allow foreign organizations to be listed as terrorist organizations.
