Morocco's King Mohammed VI has confirmed in an official letter that the country has named a major highway after US President Donald Trump, according to reports verified on August 4, 2026.
The letter, addressed to the US administration, acknowledges the naming of the highway as a gesture of appreciation for Trump's support of Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara. The move was first announced in a social media post by Trump, who thanked the king for the honor.
The highway, located in the Dakhla region of Western Sahara, is part of a broader infrastructure development in the area. The naming ceremony was attended by Moroccan officials and US representatives, though specific dates and further details have not been officially released.
This development underscores the strengthening ties between Morocco and the United States, particularly in the context of the US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, which was formalized under the Trump administration.
