US launches global campaign against far‑left terrorism
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio convened officials from 66 nations in Washington and announced a worldwide offensive targeting what he called “far‑left terrorism,” describing the threat as a global emergency. The initiative is outlined in a White House memo designated NSPM‑7 and aims to treat violent far‑left, anarchist, pro‑Iranian, antisemitic, anti‑tech and eco‑terrorist movements with the same seriousness as jihadist terrorism.
The United States has already taken related actions, including sanctioning UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese for alleged support of terrorism and, in 2024, removing a $10 million bounty on former al‑Qaeda leader Ahmed al‑Sharaa (Abu Mohammad al‑Jolani). Rubio referenced historic Latin American guerrilla groups such as the Tupamaros, Montoneros, FARC and ELN while warning that contemporary left‑wing groups could face similar counter‑terrorism measures.
