Trump's Middle East influence in Saudi Arabia
The field report by the British newspaper "The Telegraph" highlights the major developments taking place in Morocco's southern regions, particularly through the highway project connecting Tiznit and Dakhla, which has been named after Trump. This road links the north to the south over approximately 1,050 kilometers. The project aims to strengthen infrastructure and connect the southern regions with the interior of Morocco to promote economic development and facilitate communication. It is part of a broader strategy that includes the development of ports and economic and social projects in the area. The report also reviews the economic growth in Laayoune, projected at 7.4% in 2024, along with reductions in poverty rates and the expansion of commercial activities, as well as increasing diplomatic representation from Arab and African states in the region. The newspaper pointed out the growing American support for Morocco following Washington's recognition of the kingdom's sovereignty over the Sahara in 2020. Officials have expressed increasing American interest in investment projects in the area. Furthermore, naming the road after Trump reflects a political and symbolic dimension in the Morocco-U.S. relationship. It coincides with rising international support for the Moroccan autonomy plan as a solution to the Western Sahara dispute, in addition to economic and strategic projects that bolster the region’s role as Morocco’s gateway to Africa.
