Trump Appreciates Moroccan Road Naming
The article focused on U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement expressing his gratitude to King Mohammed VI for naming the highway between Tiznit and Dakhla after him, which he considered a "great honor." He explained that the name of the road reflects the history of relations between Morocco and the United States, noting that Morocco was the first country to recognize American independence in 1777, and that signing the Treaty of Friendship in 1786 is among the oldest ongoing diplomatic relationships. The completion of the Tiznit–Dakhla road, a project carried out over several years at a cost of approximately $988 million, is considered one of Morocco’s most significant developmental projects. Its goals are to reduce travel time, enhance safety, and stimulate maritime and logistical investments in the region. Naming the road after Trump carries political symbolism, illustrating U.S. support for the autonomy initiative in Western Sahara and reaffirming the alliance between the development project and diplomatic relations, which have seen notable changes—especially after Washington's recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara in 2020 and its endorsement of the recent UN Security Council resolution supporting the Moroccan political solution.
