On June 14, the U.S. Department of State designated the Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). NRM is the largest neo-Nazi group in Sweden, with branches in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland. The designation also includes sanctions against the group and three of its leaders for their involvement in violent extremism. This move is part of the United States' broader effort to combat white supremacy. OFAC also sanctioned the group.
