Report from the Washington Institute: The Trump Administration Will Strongly Reinforce Its Recognition of Morocco’s Sovereignty over the Sahara

ALDAR/

A recent report revealed that the United States will take tangible steps to strengthen its recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara.

The report, published by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, noted that Trump, who was known for his firm political stances, may, in his second term, offer strong support to Morocco in this complex regional conflict.

Historically, relations between the United States and Morocco have been strong, spanning various fields such as security and trade cooperation. Trump is expected to give special attention to formalizing these relations through clear diplomatic positions, which could include reinforcing Washington’s official support for Morocco’s stance on the Sahara. This approach reflects the direct style of Trump’s foreign policy, preferring to take concrete actions on strategically significant issues rather than engaging in complicated negotiations.

This support is expected to contribute to strengthening cooperation between the two countries on various fronts, whether in combating terrorism or enhancing trade exchanges.

It could also significantly impact the regional equation in the Sahara, making it difficult for other powers to influence the course of the conflict.
