Trump Indicates Morocco Is Naming a Highway After Him in Western Sahara

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Morocco is naming a 655-mile highway after him, stretching from Tiznit to Laayoune and Dakhla in the disputed Western Sahara territory. Trump thanked King Mohammed VI and expressed hope to travel the highway. The announcement video praised Trump's 'historic courage' for supporting Morocco's claim to Western Sahara, which he first recognized in 2020 as part of the Abraham Accords. The Trump administration reaffirmed this support in 2025 and encouraged U.S. investment in the territory. Morocco is also building a $1 billion deepwater port in Dakhla. The White House did not comment. The Polisario Front, backed by Algeria, continues to seek an independent state in the territory.
