The US State Department is organizing an international conference on combating transnational far-left terrorism, The Washington Post writes.
According to the newspaper, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio invited representatives from more than 60 countries to a meeting where one of the main topics will be countering the Antifa movement.
As The Washington Post notes, the White House’s focus on Antifa has puzzled European specialists. They point out that the movement is decentralized and until now has not been regarded as a serious threat.
