President Donald Trump said Sunday that he will move to formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization � a decision he said will be executed �in the strongest and most powerful terms.�

Speaking to Just the News, Trump confirmed that the process is already underway. �Final documents are being drawn,� he said, adding that the decision has been in preparation since his first presidential term.

The announcement follows a bombshell declaration last week by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who said Texas will classify both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. Abbott accused both groups of working to undermine democratic societies and advance radical Islamist dominance.

�The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam�s �mastership of the world,�� Abbott said. �Their actions to support global terrorism and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable.�

A U.S. terrorist designation would mark a historic shift in federal security strategy, potentially triggering sanctions, travel restrictions, and far-reaching criminal penalties against any person or entity suspected of materially supporting the organization.

With two major government leaders now aligned, the Muslim Brotherhood designation fight � debated in Washington for years � appears closer than ever to becoming official policy.
