''The UAE has been actively lobbying the US to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, citing concerns about the group's regional influence and potential ties to terrorism. This lobbying effort is part of a broader strategy by the UAE to counter perceived threats from Islamist movements in the region. While some US politicians support this designation, others, including some in the US administration, oppose it, citing potential negative consequences for US foreign policy and concerns about overreach in defining terrorism.''

Rubio made clear that the Brotherhood’s sprawling network of affiliates, each an instrument of extremist ideology, will be recognized for what they truly are. ''
