Experts say the plan could cut humanitarian funding, weaken U.S. terrorism listings, project hostility toward Muslims and empower autocrats.
The Trump administration is seeking to label the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization — a move that would allow the U.S. to impose broad sanctions against the Islamist group, which has millions of members across the Middle East.
The plan was first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Sanders told the Times,"The president has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern, and this designation is working its way through the internal process."
While el-Sissi was meeting with Trump, his son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner was getting pressure from the Saudis and UAE to revisit the idea, the Times reported. Several administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton, are reportedly on board as are other Trump advisors who have long considered the group radical.
"The notion of designating the entire organization as a terrorist organization has been around for a very long time but has always been dismissed as not being viable," said Stroul, adding that no one has been able to gather the evidence needed to do so.
