Hungary Urges EU to List 'Antifa' as Terrorist Group After Trump's Declaration

The declaration faces unresolved legal questions under U.S. rules lacking a domestic terror list.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump said he recognizes 'Antifa' as a terrorist organization and called for investigations into its funding.
  • Reuters reports the White House is drafting an executive order on political violence and hate speech that could authorize restrictive measures against left‑leaning groups.
  • Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said he will initiate steps to classify 'Antifa' as a terrorist organization in Hungary.
  • Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó sent a letter to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas urging the EU to add 'Antifa' to its terror lists and impose related sanctions, citing what he described as a U.S. presidential order.
  • Experts describe 'Antifa' as a decentralized movement without formal leadership, and the absence of a U.S. domestic terror‑listing mechanism raises enforcement and legal uncertainty.
