US EditionTrump signs order allowing foreign terrorist designation for Muslim Brotherhood chapters
The order initiates a review to potentially label Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan as terrorist groups linked to violence and threats to U.S. interests, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of State and Department of the Treasury to consider designations for Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan.
- Citing security concerns, the White House said certain chapters "engage in or facilitate and support violence and destabilization campaigns," citing alleged links to Hamas and rocket attacks by Lebanon's Muslim Brotherhood armed wing after Oct. 7, 2023, plus calls for violence from Jordanian Brotherhood leaders.
- The order requires a 30-day joint report from State and Treasury, directing Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to consult the Attorney General and DNI and act within 45 days if warranted.
- Civil-Rights groups have already mounted legal challenges to state designations, as CAIR's lawsuit highlights U.S. legal consequences including sanctions and bans affecting Muslim American activists and charities.
- Longstanding pressure from activists and lawmakers culminated in this order, with a Senate bill having 11 co-sponsors and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praising the move alongside ISGAP.
