President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order laying the groundwork for his administration to designate chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.
The executive order directed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to begin preparing to designate chapters of the organization in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Rubio and Bessent now have 30 days to submit a report on the designation of any Muslim Brotherhood chapters and 45 days to officially designate the chapters as terrorist organizations.
