In an exclusive statement to Just the News, US President Donald Trump revealed that he is about to issue an official decision designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a "foreign terrorist organization," stressing that the step will come "in the strongest possible terms," and that work is underway to complete the final documents before announcing it soon. The new direction comes amid widespread pressure from Republican lawmakers within Congress, who are pushing for the adoption of firm steps against the group, which is accused in conservative circles of playing a role in destabilizing the region and fueling extremism, "according to Al Arabiya Net." According to the exclusive report, the expected designation will strongly restrict any financial or logistical activity related to the group, prevent the transfer of American funds to institutions suspected of being linked to it, in addition to imposing strict restrictions on the entry of its members into the United States, with a focus on confronting any threats believed to be of a violent or inciting nature. The idea of the designation was first raised in the first Trump administration in 2019 without seeing the light at the time, while the group continued to deny the accusations leveled against it, stressing its adherence to peaceful political action. However, research reports issued by institutions such as the "Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism" and the "Foundation for Defense of Democracies" have strengthened in recent years the narrative that considers the Brotherhood an ideological umbrella used to justify extremism and produce a discourse based on confrontation.
