In an official communication, the White House framed the Muslim Brotherhood as a transnational organization whose affiliates and chapters provide ideological and material support to extremist groups that threaten regional stability and U.S. partners.
The administration highlighted a recent executive action directing national security agencies to assess specific Muslim Brotherhood branches for potential designation as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists.
According to the statement, this process is intended to identify networks that “fuel terrorism and destabilization campaigns” and to enable sanctions, travel restrictions, and financial measures designed to cut off their resources and influence.
Supporters of the move argue it sends a strong message that the U.S. will take a harder line against Islamist movements they view as gateways to radicalization and violence.
Critics warn the policy could blur distinctions between political Islam and armed extremism, risking overreach that may undermine civil society groups and complicate relations with key regional governments.
Legal and diplomatic experts note that any designations would have significant consequences for individuals and organizations linked to targeted branches, including criminal liability for material support and broad financial restrictions.
The White House insists the effort is focused on protecting Americans and allies while working with regional partners to counter networks that, in its view, enable terrorism and long-term instability in the Middle East.
