The United Arab Emirates welcomed the announcement by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump designating several branches of the Muslim Brotherhood in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as terrorist organizations.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) affirmed that the U.S. measure reflects the sustained and systematic efforts undertaken by the administration of President Trump to counter violence and destabilizing activities carried out by terrorist Muslim Brotherhood branches wherever they operate.

Furthermore, the Ministry emphasized that this step represents a key measure within the United States’ efforts to deprive these terrorist branches of the resources that enable them to engage in, support, or justify acts of extremism, hatred, and terrorism.

The Ministry underscored the UAE’s support for all international efforts aimed at combating extremism and terrorism, and promoting regional and international security and stability.
