Last week, the United States Congress held a session to debate designating the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) – referred to as Ikhwan in Arabic — a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
The Trump administration is currently weighing the possibility of designating the Brotherhood, which is already designated in its country of origin (Egypt) and elsewhere in the Arab world (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, and even Russia). News of this broke in April following President Trump’s private meeting with Egyptian President Fattah el-Sisi.
