U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism, countering terrorism since 1972.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The Trump Administration is imposing terrorist designations on Los Lorenzanas, Los Huistas, and Los Mendoza. These three Guatemalan groups have deep ties with Mexican cartels, helping to move and export illicit drugs to fund terrorism and criminal activity.

Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States will never stop fighting against violent narcoterrorists and their political enablers who flood our nation with deadly drugs.

[Under Secretary of State Thomas G. DiNanno @UnderSecT]

The United States will continue using all available tools to deny funding and resources to narcoterrorists. Today's actions target groups that facilitate drug trafficking and support violent criminal networks throughout the region.

Today, the United States is imposing terrorist designations against Los Lorenzanas, Los Huistas, and Los Mendoza. These Guatemala-based groups have deep ties to Mexican cartels and play a significant role in moving illicit drugs through the region. Today’s action demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to disrupting cartel and narcoterrorist networks that threaten U.S. national security. https://t.co/IQPAhGtPtg

Thank you to @USAmbFrance Charlie Kushner and team for hosting me for bilateral CT consultations with France, a reliable partner in confronting longstanding and emerging CT threats.

[Under Secretary of State Thomas G. DiNanno @UnderSecT]

Today's MOU signing between the United States & Hungary will increase cooperation and information sharing as we confront the resurgence of far-left terrorism. Thank you to @SecRubio and FM @_OrbanAnita for ensuring this important topic is addressed head-on.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Met with Hungarian Foreign Minister @_OrbanAnita to advance our energy and law enforcement priorities. We signed two documents reinforcing Hungary’s commitment to energy diversification and strengthening our joint efforts to combat far-left terrorism.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO on AGREEMENTS WITH HUNGARY: We are aligned in taking steps together in our governments to confront this resurgence of far-left terrorism, which is something that has been ignored for far too long and something I spoke about earlier this year.

[State Dept CT Bureau @StateDeptCT]

The United States commends President @JMilei and Argentina for designating the Sinaloa Cartel, Nueva Familia Michoacana, Los Tiguerones, and the far-left National Liberation Army and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army as terrorist organizations. These terrorists threaten our entire hemisphere. Argentina is a steadfast partner. 🇺🇸 🇦🇷

The United States is targeting Cartel del Noreste, sanctioning four individuals and 11 entities to cripple the financial infrastructure of one of the most violent terrorist cartels in our Hemisphere. There is no safe haven for those who finance or profit from the Cartel’s violence and destruction.

[State Dept CT Bureau @StateDeptCT]

The Trump Administration is using the full power of the United States government to keep Americans safe and secure from narcoterrorist gangs and cartels operating in our hemisphere.

[State Dept CT Bureau @StateDeptCT]

The United States joined 28 countries to condemn Iran’s malign and violent activities and recognizes the United Kingdom’s attribution of Iran’s involvement in the attempted terrorist attack at RAF Fairford on September 27. The United States is committed to detecting and disrupting these threats to keep the American people safe and secure. https://t.co/aoaNgSoYXo

[State Dept CT Bureau @StateDeptCT]

We commend the European Parliament for adopting a resolution that calls for an EU-wide strategy to counter Muslim Brotherhood terrorist networks.

[State Dept CT Bureau @StateDeptCT]

The United States is leading regional diplomacy to condemn the terrorist actions and other malign influence operations in our hemisphere by Iran and its terrorist proxies, which threaten our citizens and partners through lethal plotting, illicit fundraising, and political interference.  Our partners in the Western Hemisphere are taking decisive action by designating Iran-backed groups as terrorist organizations and disrupting their financing.  This regional diplomatic collaboration will help to secure our shared hemisphere.

SECRETARY RUBIO: We have built a model of that with our partners here in Greece. In our defense partnerships, in energy and technology, in our shared ambition to secure Europe’s borders from the threats of mass migration.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: We take the West’s conception of these things – heroism, honor, duty – we take these things for granted. We assume that these somehow are universal to all people in all times and in all places. They are not.

They are the product of a distinct character, a distinct character which arose here – and shaped the whole story of the civilization that came after it.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: Though passions may, at times, have strained the bonds of affection between the United States and Europe, it must not be allowed to break them. Together, we must strengthen an alliance capable of confronting the threats of our age.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The U.S.-Greece Strategic Dialogue is a key milestone in our relationship that spans security, trade, shipping, energy, and culture.

From new agreements on defense cooperation to law enforcement and maritime safety, the 6th U.S.-Greece Strategic Dialogue shows our bilateral relationship continues to reach new heights.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Today, three years after the horrific October 7 attacks, we remember the innocent lives taken by Hamas terrorists.

The Trump Administration remains committed to confronting terrorism and bringing hostages home.

America will always stand as a beacon of freedom, defending our allies and values around the world.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 innocent civilians in Israel.

Among those slain were men, women, and children — including dozens of Americans.

We will never forget this act of barbarism against an ally and recommit ourselves to the defense of civilization.
