Trump moves to designate some Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist groups

President Trump has issued an executive order directing his administration to investigate whether Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan should be designated as foreign terrorist organizations, citing alleged connections to Hamas and destabilization efforts. The order requires Cabinet officials to produce a report within 30 days and potentially impose sanctions within 45 days thereafter. Such a designation would criminalize supporting the organization, impose economic penalties, and ban members from entering the United States.
