Morocco renames highway in Western Sahara after Trump

Morocco has named a highway "Donald J. Trump Expressway," a 1,055-kilometer route connecting the southern parts of the country to Western Sahara. This step reflects Washington's recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara. The measure follows a message from King Mohammed VI, in which he confirmed that the U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty in 2020 remains significant, and that naming the road honors the relationship between the two countries. The project is one of the largest road infrastructure initiatives in Africa, aiming to improve connectivity and development in the region, with an estimated cost of around 850 million euros.
