Trump Plans to Designate Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Group
President Trump has announced plans to officially label the Muslim Brotherhood, an old group from Egypt, as a terrorist organization.
This group has branches all over the world and is accused of causing trouble in the Middle East.
Some countries already consider them terrorists, and Trump thinks this move will help keep America safe.
The Muslim Brotherhood says they are peaceful, but others believe they support violence.
The process to make this official is taking time because the group has many different parts.
President Trump plans to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
The Muslim Brotherhood is accused of destabilizing the Middle East and influencing radicalization.
The group was founded in Egypt in 1928 with the goal of creating an Islamic state.
The designation process is lengthy due to the group's many branches and affiliates.
The Muslim Brotherhood rejects the terrorism label and vows to continue its work peacefully.
