The Trump administration is seeking to label the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization — a move that would allow the U.S. to impose broad sanctions against the Islamist group, which has millions of members across the Middle East.
The plan was first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Sanders told the Times,"The president has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern, and this designation is working its way through the internal process."
While el-Sissi was meeting with Trump, his son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner was getting pressure from the Saudis and UAE to revisit the idea, the Times reported. Several administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton, are reportedly on board as are other Trump advisors who have long considered the group radical.
"The notion of designating the entire organization as a terrorist organization has been around for a very long time but has always been dismissed as not being viable," said Stroul, adding that no one has been able to gather the evidence needed to do so.
If does so be it.

Designating Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist org? Bad idea, experts sayWhite House officials are weighing whether to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization — a move experts warn would make the US less safe and end up victimizing American Muslims. Meanwhile they ignore the KKK and white supremacists.. So wait, calling terrorists, terrorists makes it more dangerous because they're more likely to act like terrorists? Not sure where u got these “experts”, but not safe from terrorists either way. Unless you believe covering your ears will stop the freight train bearing down on you.
