Moroccan king’s letter confirms naming of major highway in honour of Trump
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has officially confirmed the naming of a major highway in the country in honor of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The highway, which is located in the capital city of Rabat, will now be known as “Autoroute President Donald J. Trump.”
The decision to name the highway after Trump was announced earlier this year by Moroccan Minister of Equipment, Transport, Logistics, and Water, Abdelkader Amara. It was met with mixed reactions from the Moroccan public, with some praising the move as a symbol of the strong ties between Morocco and the United States, while others criticized it as being politically motivated.
In a letter addressed to Trump, King Mohammed VI expressed his gratitude for the former president’s efforts in strengthening the relationship between the two countries. The letter highlighted the various initiatives that were undertaken during Trump’s administration to bolster economic and diplomatic ties between Morocco and the United States.
The naming of the highway comes after Trump’s administration brokered a deal for Morocco to normalize relations with Israel in exchange for the United States recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. The move was met with both praise and criticism internationally.
The decision to honor Trump in this manner has reignited debate in Morocco about the country’s foreign policy decisions and its alignment with the United States. It remains to be seen how the public will continue to react to the naming of the highway in the coming months.
