King Mohammed VI of Morocco has confirmed in an official letter that one of the country's major highways will be named in honor of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The announcement was made public on August 4, 2026, according to reports from Moroccan state media.
The letter, addressed to U.S. officials, states that the highway will be named "Trump Highway" as a gesture of appreciation for Trump's role in brokering the normalization agreement between Morocco and Israel in 2020. The specific highway has not yet been identified, but it is expected to be a major route connecting key cities.
This decision follows a pattern of honors given to Trump by Morocco, including the naming of a street in Tangier after him in 2021. The move has been welcomed by some as a symbol of strong U.S.-Morocco relations, while others have questioned the appropriateness of naming infrastructure after a foreign political figure.
The Moroccan government has not yet announced a timeline for the renaming or the exact location of the highway. The letter is seen as a formal step in the process, which may require additional administrative approvals.
