U.S. President Donald Trump said the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood is currently greater than that of communists, warning that the group’s influence and potential threat extend far beyond the Middle East and could reach Europe and the United States.
Trump made the remarks during a phone interview with Salem News Channel on Thursday evening, responding to a question from host Hugh Hewitt about which posed a greater danger: communists or the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Both are dangerous, but the Muslim Brotherhood is more dangerous right now,” Trump said, warning that the threat posed by the group is not limited to the Middle East but extends to other regions, including Europe and the United States.
Trump Refuses to Choose Between Saudi Crown Prince and UAE President
During another part of the interview, Trump declined to answer a question about whose call he would take first if he received simultaneous calls from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.
“I’m not going to answer that question because it would get me into trouble,” Trump said, adding: “They’re both my friends, and they’re both wonderful people.”
