WATCH: Trump to Designate Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
President Donald Trump is moving ahead with one of the most important national-security decisions of his administration: formally designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.
In an interview reported by Just the News, President Trump stated that “final documents are being drawn” and that the designation “will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms.”
While the White House has not yet publicly confirmed the timeline, the policy itself represents a long-overdue recognition of the organization’s global influence and its extensive connections to extremist activity.
For decades, the Muslim Brotherhood has positioned itself as a political or social movement.
That framing has allowed it to expand operations across multiple regions through nonprofit fronts, student organizations, and political parties.
However, the Brotherhood’s leadership has consistently aligned itself with groups that promote or carry out violence. Hamas is a direct offshoot of the Brotherhood.
