Rubio hosts conference to rally global opposition to 'left-wing terrorism'. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted representatives from more than 65 countries at the State Department on Thursday, hoping to rally global support against what he said was the resurgence of far-left political terrorism, such as the antifa movement. The Trump administration offered an all-star cast for a State Department event meant to urge countries to confront alleged threats such as the antifa movement.
