The United States is working to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, the White House said on April 30. The designation would result in sanctions against Egypt’s oldest radical Islamic terrorist group.

“The president has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern, and this designation is working its way through the internal process,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
