Revision History

President Trump signed a 16-page counterterrorism strategy on May 6, 2026, that elevates drug cartels to the top national security threat, names left-wing and "pro-transgender" groups as domestic terrorist priorities, and omits any mention of right-wing extremism — despite government data showing far-right actors are responsible for the majority of domestic terrorist attacks since 1994. The strategy has drawn criticism from terrorism scholars, civil liberties groups, and former national security officials who argue it conflates profit-driven criminal organizations with ideologically motivated terrorist networks while opening new avenues for surveillance of political dissent.
