The #Treasury & #State depts announced the actions Tues against #Lebanon, #Jordan & #Egypt chapters of the #Muslim Brotherhood, which they said pose a risk to the #US & interests.

State designated the Lebanese branch a foreign #terrorist organization [#FTO], the most severe of the labels, which makes it a #criminal offense to provide material support to the group. The Jordanian & Egyptian branches were listed by Treasury as specially designated global terrorists for providing support to #Hamas.

#Trump admin designated yet another Latin American drug #cartel a ‘foreign #terrorist organization’ [#FTO]

The designation imposes #sanctions on the group & its members & opens the door to potential #military or other action against it.

The #State Dept said Tuesday that the #Colombia based #ClanDelGolfo had been listed as both a FTO & a specially designated global terrorist group, calling it “a violent & powerful criminal organization with thousands of members.”

The #Trump admin is set to ramp up pressure on Venezuelan President Maduro on #Monday by designating the #CartelDeLosSoles as a foreign #terrorist organization [#FTO].

The designation is the latest measure in the Trump admin’s escalating campaign to purportedly combat drug trafficking to the US. The move comes as Trump evaluates whether to take #military action against #Venezuela, which Trump has not ruled out.
