Several European diplomats, speaking anonymously to avoid publicly criticizing the administration, told the Washington Post they had no idea why they were invited. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have antifa,\u201d said one. \u201cI don\u2019t think we can find any reason why we would be interested in attending such an event,\u201d said another. A third was equally blunt: \u201cOur law enforcement authorities have not focused on left-wing terrorism because this is not considered a high-priority threat in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The invitation, sent just last week with RSVPs due this Friday, gave invitees little notice. Several countries said their foreign or interior ministers were unlikely to attend, citing the busy summer diplomatic schedule. The short notice and vague aims of the meeting have contributed to the poor response.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting is the latest in a series of attempts by the administration to rally international support for its framing of antifa as a serious terrorist threat\u2014and each effort has landed badly. A State Department meeting on the topic in the Netherlands in late May fell flat, with most attendees conveying they did \u201cnot see it quite the way you do.\u201d A follow-up gathering in Washington in early June was described as a \u201cdud\u201d by Puck News, with organizers reportedly sending out an email blast an hour in, encouraging people to still show up.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the U.S. government, the effort is also generating pushback. Some intelligence analysts have declined to brief on antifa at interagency meetings because they do not regard it as a serious counterterrorism threat. Some Justice Department and White House Counsel\u2019s Office officials have raised concerns, and some U.S. officials have decided not to attend the July 16 event at all.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3144\">Billionaire GOP Donor Delivers Big Blow in Trump Succession Race<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The administration\u2019s counterterrorism czar, Sebastian Gorka, has discussed using foreign terrorist designations for antifa to justify investigating Americans with ties to the movement\u2014a step that would unlock tools including surveillance. But experts say this would be a legal stretch. \u201cIf it has any significant domestic presence, it cannot be designated,\u201d said Jason Blazakis, who ran the State Department\u2019s designation process for a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Even some Trump administration officials are uneasy. One told the Post the effort risks setting a precedent that a future Democratic administration could turn on conservatives. \u201cThe idea is you\u2019re setting a precedent for a future Gavin Newsom administration to turn these authorities on conservatives,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<p>White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Gorka are among those most enthusiastic about the hardline approach. During a White House roundtable, Miller backed designating antifa a foreign terrorist organization. \u201cIt\u2019s true,\u201d Miller said when Trump asked his opinion. \u201cThere are extensive foreign ties. I think that would be a very valid step to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Counterterrorism experts are sharply critical of the whole framing. \u201cThis is the politicization of intelligence, and it\u2019s dangerous because what they\u2019re doing is basically playing partisan politics with counterterrorism, and only looking at a sliver of the overall threat,\u201d said Colin P. Clarke of the Soufan Center. \u201cIf I were to rack and stack priorities, left-wing terrorists wouldn\u2019t be in my top three,\u201d added Bruce Hoffman of the Council on Foreign Relations, who noted that \u201cto date left-wing violent extremism has typically been less lethal than other forms of terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The administration\u2019s own counterterrorism strategy, released in May, states it \u201cwill not permit the weaponization of America\u2019s unparalleled CT capabilities for partisan purposes\u201d\u2014a pledge that several current officials say is being tested by the very meeting Rubio has convened.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3142\">Jaw-Dropping Scale of Putin\u2019s Humiliating Crisis Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The State Department has been approached for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marco Rubio has invited senior ministers from more than 60 countries to a State Department meeting on what the Trump administration calls the \u201cresurgence of transnational far-left terrorism\u201d\u2014and the reception from allies has been less than enthusiastic.
