President Donald Trump has launched procedures to label Muslim Brotherhood branches across three Middle Eastern nations as terrorist entities, alleging their involvement in attacks against Israeli targets and American interests. The directive accuses Lebanese members of coordinating rocket strikes with Hamas and Hezbollah, Egyptian leadership of inciting violence against Washington's allies, and Jordanian officials of backing Hamas militants.
Trump invoked federal statutes permitting terrorist designations when organizations threaten national security, alongside emergency economic powers to freeze assets. The move follows similar action by Texas authorities against the Brotherhood and an American Islamic advocacy group.
