The Trump administration has designated branches of the Muslim Brotherhood in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as terrorist organizations. The State Department labeled the Lebanese branch as a foreign terrorist organization, making it illegal to provide them with material support. The Treasury Department designated the Jordanian and Egyptian branches as specially designated global terrorists for supporting Hamas. These actions follow President Trump's executive order to consider certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters for terrorist designations. The administration claims these chapters engage in violence and destabilization that harm their regions, U.S. citizens, and U.S. interests. This move could strain U.S. relations with countries like Qatar and Turkey.
