On the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the Throne Day, King Mohammed VI received a Message from US President Donald Trump, in which he reaffirms his country’s recognition of the Moroccan Sahara.

Trump congratulated the King and the Moroccan people, underscoring that “this year, we celebrate 250 years of American history and enduring friendship with Morocco – a bond forged in trust and mutual respect”.

Trump confirmed to the King that “the United States is unequivocal: we recognize Moroccan sovereignty over western sahara and support Morocco’s serious, credible, and realistic autonomy proposal as the only basis for a just and lasting solution.”

“Any other path prolongs the status quo and is unacceptable… This dispute must end now, and the United States will continue to push toward that goal,” the Message reads.

President Trump affirms that “Your Majesty’s Wise Leadership is an anchor of stability. Morocco’s steadfast commitment to peace, combatting extremism, and safeguarding the security of Americans and Moroccans, including through its vital role in the Abraham Accords, reflects a valuable partnership for the United States. To this end, we will also work together to secure the Sahel region”.

“Together, we are ushering in a new era, one that prioritizes the interests of our two peoples,” the Message concludes.
