Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the four groups from Germany, Italy and Greece are part of the Antifa movement, which opposes fascism.

Rubio calls the four organizations, quote, violent Antifa groups, and says these types of organizations ascribe to revolutionary anarchist or Marxist ideologies, including anti-Americanism.

He said one group in particular, the German-based Antifa Ost, carried out numerous attacks against those it perceives as fascists.

The move to designate the European groups as terrorists comes after President Trump in September designated the Antifa movement here in the U.S.

as a terrorist organization.

He cites acts of violence by some protesters as justification for cracking down on left-wing demonstrations in various cities.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says over the past couple of days he's heard a lot of concerns about the paramilitary force known as the RSF, which is carrying out sexual violence and other atrocities in areas they control in Sudan.

He says countries need to stop arming the RSF, though he didn't specifically single out the United Arab Emirates.

He says the UAE is part of a diplomatic group called the Quad, and the U.S.

is working with everyone there to pressure the RSF to stop.
