US Sahara Support Holds
The Democrats’ victory in securing majorities in both the House and Senate in the November 3 elections did not point to any decline in U.S. support for Morocco’s position on the Sahara. The new majority gives them oversight and legislative powers, but does not transfer to them the president’s authority to shape foreign policy. U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty continued under Joe Biden, who did not revoke it, and Donald Trump reaffirmed it in 2025. In 2024, former U.S. ambassador to Algeria Elizabeth Moore Aubin also confirmed that it remained in place. The legislative record points to bipartisan agreement: Democratic representatives took part in two bills, in 2025 and 2026, concerning the designation of the Polisario Front or the imposition of sanctions on it if its cooperation with Iran or terrorist groups were established. The election results therefore do not, according to the article, support expectations of a shift in the U.S. position.
