Trump counterterrorism strategy targets ‘violent left-wing extremists’ with ‘transgender ideology’

(Diana Nerozzi – Politico) “Violent left-wing extremists” and “extremist transgender ideology” are among the most concerning threats facing the country, according to the Trump administration counterterrorism strategy released Wednesday. The strategy, the first released in President Donald Trump’s second term, underscores how Trump’s priorities differ from predecessors, listing “violent left-wing extremists” as one of its top three focuses, alongside “narcoterrorists” and “Islamist terrorists.”. It’s a sharp departure from the Biden administration, which concentrated on extremism on the right. Former President Joe Biden called white supremacy the “most dangerous terrorist threat” to the nation in 2023. – Trump counterterrorism strategy targets ‘violent left-wing extremists’ with ‘transgender ideology’ – POLITICO
