Trump’s Secret Terror List Revealed
Former President Donald Trump maintained a confidential list of 24 groups labeled as “terrorist organizations” during his administration. While the full list remains undisclosed, NextMinuteNews has obtained exclusive details about some entries, sparking debates over transparency and U.S. foreign policy.
The Shadow List: Key Groups Named
Unlike the State Department’s official Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list, Trump’s secret designation operated outside public scrutiny. Among the leaked names:
- DHKP/C – A Marxist militant group in Turkey.
- Liwa al-Quds – A pro-Iran Syrian militia tied to human rights abuses.
- ELN – A Colombian guerrilla faction involved in drug trafficking.
- Al-Murabitoun – An Al-Qaeda-linked network in Africa.
The inclusion of these groups suggests an off-the-books strategy to target entities beyond standard legal channels.
Why Was the List Kept Secret?
Experts argue the secrecy enabled covert actions—like sanctions or drone strikes—without congressional oversight.
“This bypasses due process and risks abuse,” says counterterrorism analyst Dr. Aisha Malik.
Global and Legal Repercussions
Allies and adversaries may demand answers if their domestic groups were secretly blacklisted. Legal scholars warn that unverified designations could violate international law, leading to unjust sanctions or military operations.
Biden’s Next Move
The White House is reportedly reviewing the list but hasn’t committed to declassifying it. Will Biden end Trump’s shadow framework or continue it? The decision could reshape U.S. counterterrorism tactics.
Demand for Transparency
While combating extremism is vital, undisclosed terror lists undermine accountability. NextMinuteNews will continue tracking this story—because the public deserves the truth.
