White House considers move to designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group
Sarah Sanders says ‘designation working its way through internal process’ after Trump personally lobbied by Egypt president Sisi
The White House has confirmed it is considering the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation, after Donald Trump was personally lobbied by Egypt’s president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi.
The official designation of the Islamist movement as terrorist would have far-reaching effects, sanctioning companies and individuals who had any interactions with the group.
