Trump calls Muslim Brotherhood ‘more dangerous’ than communism
According to The National, US President Donald Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt that the Muslim Brotherhood is currently more dangerous than communism. Trump noted that while he would have answered differently five years ago, he now believes the group must be neutralised. In January, Washington designated the Lebanese, Egyptian, and Jordanian branches of the group as terrorist organisations. The White House's 2026 counter-terrorism strategy also described the movement as the root of all modern Islamist terrorism. Several US states, including Texas and Florida, have independently taken measures to designate the group or its affiliates as terrorist entities.
