President Donald Trump, on Sunday, vowed to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organisation.

The American President told Just the News on Sunday, “Final documents are being drawn” to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation.

On whether he would declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, Mr Trump said, “It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms.”

Mr Trump’s planned designation of Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation comes a few days after Governor Greg Abbott of Texas declared the same a terrorist organisation.

Mr Abbott, last week Tuesday, signed a declaration designating Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as terrorist organisations.

The declaration document cited the Muslim Brotherhood’s link to Hamas and the Jihad ideology of its founder, aimed at conquering and oppressing people of other faiths, amongst other factors responsible for its declaration as a terrorist organisation.
