US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order initiating the process to potentially designate certain country chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terror organizations. The order directs the Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary to report within 30 days on whether specific chapters, such as those in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan, should be sanctioned. The White House claims these chapters have supported or encouraged attacks against US interests and allies, particularly referencing connections to Hamas. Notably, the order does not mention Qatar and Turkey, countries with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and close relations with the US administration. The move is expected to have significant implications for organizations associated with the Brotherhood worldwide, though the extent of enforcement remains uncertain.
