President Trump confirmed that his administration is finalizing the paperwork to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. The move comes after federal and counterterrorism groups raised concerns about the organization’s expanding presence and potential connections to extremist networks in the U.S.
Administration officials said that the decision, once formalized, will mark a significant shift in U.S. policy toward international Islamist movements. The move could also have diplomatic implications, particularly with nations where the Muslim Brotherhood operates legally or holds political power.
Critics argue that such a designation may complicate relations with key allies in the Middle East, while supporters insist that it is a necessary measure to combat radicalization and protect national security. The White House did not provide a precise timeline for the official announcement but indicated that the process is in its final stages.
