US President Donald Trump’s advisor, Steve Witkoff, announced on October 20th that Washington was working on a peace deal between Morocco and Algeria, according to Maghrebi Week on October 27th.

Witkoff, who is the US envoy for the Middle East, told CBS’s “60 Minutes Overtime” that his “team is working on a peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria at the moment.”

Tensions between Morocco and Algeria have been escalating amid the ongoing Western Sahara dispute, prompting both countries to increase their military budgets.
