This decision comes in response to increasing pressure from within the US administration itself, from both Republicans and Democrats, due to the group’s growing influence globally and the danger its ideology poses to Western societies.
According to statements reported by “Justin News,” Trump confirmed that this step will be implemented “in the strongest terms after preparing the final documents,” in the context of efforts aimed at stopping what he described as a “cross-border financial network carrying a dangerous ideology.”
He pointed out that the Brotherhood organization relies on various fronts, ranging from mosques and associations to cultural and social centers, with the aim of reaching the widest segment of the public and forming a misguided society.
This move comes after countries in the Middle East, such as Egypt and Jordan, consider the Brotherhood a prohibited organization, while the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain classified the group as a terrorist organization.
Regarding the European position, it is still more complex, as stated by French Senator Nathalie Goulet, during her interview on the “Al- التاسعة” program on Sky News Arabia.
Goulet pointed out that the danger of the Brotherhood in France is “great and very high,” warning that the group’s presence “aims perhaps to change French policies and affects Muslim youth,” stressing that France is so far “weak against the presence of the Brotherhood in society.”
Regarding the reason for Europe’s delay in taking steps similar to those taken by the United States, Goulet explained that “Europe has not been very unified in defining terrorism, and this makes the measures against the Brotherhood scattered and ineffective.”
She added that European funding for organizations affiliated with the Brotherhood “represents a major challenge,” noting that millions of dollars are spent to support associations and organizations linked to the group, through training programs or educational partnerships.
Goulet confirmed the existence of a “correlation between the Brotherhood and organized crime,” including drug smuggling and illegal immigrants.
She explained that Europe “does not have a clear leadership that can make decisive decisions, which sometimes makes it take wrong decisions, which cost European society and Muslims—the first victims—a heavy price.”
