"Whether it’s Europe with radical Islamic terrorism or the U.S. with domestic white nationalistic terrorism, can we work harder to prevent this sort of ideological violence?"

I think, Europe definitely _also_ has a growing white nationalistic terrorism problem. In Germany alone we had 3 massive white nationalist terror attacks between 2019 and 2020: Halle (Yom Kippur Attack), Hanau (Attack on Migrant Businesses) and Kassel (murder of pro-refugee district president). There have been at least three cases of police precincts and one special forces group which were connected to white nationalist terrorism.

2018 a Lega Nord member shot six African migrants in Italy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macerata_shooting).

2017 Swedish neo-nazis bombed two refugee centres in and around Gothenburg (https://eurojewcong.org/news/communities-news/sweden/swedish-neo-nazis-jailed-over-bomb-attacks-on-refugee-centres/).

Radical Islam is of course horrible and a serious problem but it's not the only significant terrorism threat facing the continent.
