Morocco: US renews support over Western Sahara
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated support for Morocco and their sovereignty claims over the Western Sahara, according to The New Arab on April 8th.
Support for Morocco’s sovereignty claims has been a long source of contention with Algeria.
During his first term in office, Donald Trump supported Morocco and Rubio backed this up by saying: “The United States recognises Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and supports Morocco’s serious, credible and realistic autonomy proposal”.
