(Central News Agency, Washington, 6th, comprehensive foreign report) The US President Trump administration today unveiled a new counter-terrorism strategy, accusing Europe of becoming a "breeding ground" for terrorism due to mass immigration. This strategy also focuses on eradicating "violent left-wing extremists," including "radical transgender support" groups.
According to AFP, Trump's conservative government is stepping up political attacks on opponents.
This strategy further places drug trafficking groups in the Americas at the core of counter-terrorism operations.
According to Reuters, as part of what Washington calls anti-drug operations, the United States has destroyed dozens of vessels; this operation includes the overthrow of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro this year.
Counter-terrorism coordinator Sebastian Gorka stated: "The top priority of our new counter-terrorism strategy is to dismantle hemispheric terrorist threats by paralyzing the operations of drug trafficking groups until these organizations lose their ability to bring drugs, members, and human trafficking victims into the United States."
However, the strongest worded part of this document is directed at Europe; where many US allies are located, these countries will undoubtedly be greatly shocked to see Europe once again targeted by the Trump administration.
The strategy states: "It is well known that well-organized hostile groups exploit open borders and related globalist ideals. The faster these foreign cultures grow and the longer existing European policies continue, the more guaranteed the occurrence of terrorism will be."
This strategy, led by Gorka, who has been accused of having ties to far-right groups, states: "As the birthplace of Western culture and values, Europe must act immediately to stop its self-inflicted decline."
Months ago, Trump's previous national security strategy claimed that Europe faced the risk of "civilizational erasure" due to immigration.
Trump recently also fiercely criticized Europe's NATO allies for NATO's failure to assist him in his war against Iran.
Left-wing groups are a major concern for this Republican president's administration. This strategy targets so-called "violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists."
The strategy states that US counter-terrorism efforts will "prioritize the rapid identification and elimination of violent secular political groups that are ideologically anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist."
The article specifically names the case of the murder of Trump ally and conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, stating that the perpetrator was a "radical advocating extreme transgender ideology."
Gorka stated that US counter-terrorism officials will meet with international partners tomorrow to ask allies how to step up efforts to combat terrorist threats, especially those from Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. (Compiled by: Li Peishan) 1150507
