U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he is preparing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization,” confirming that legal procedures are in their final stage.

The announcement followed an investigative report published by Just the News on the group’s activities and what U.S. officials consider an increasing threat.

This comes after the state of Texas recently designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) as “foreign terrorist organizations,” a move that sparked wide political controversy.
