The United States has officially designated three national chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian chapters are now subject to sanctions and asset freezes under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in November 2025. The Lebanese chapter and its leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh have been labeled as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists, while the Egyptian and Jordanian chapters are designated for providing material support to Hamas. These actions mark the beginning of a broader effort by the United States to disrupt the operations and resources of groups it considers a threat.
