摩洛哥国王穆罕默德六世发函确认，该国已将一条连接国内南北的主要公路以美国总统特朗普名义命名[1]。这条蒂兹尼特-达赫拉公路全长1055公里，造价近10亿美元，途经摩洛哥控制的西撒哈拉地区[1]。
国王在2024年7月2日的信函中表示："尽管我们的关系一直以亲密友谊和持久忠诚为基础，但在您两个总统任期中，关系从未如此充满活力和硕果累累"[1]。国王强调了特朗普政府对摩洛哥西撒哈拉主权的历史性认可。这延续了2020年美国在第一任特朗普政府期间的决定——当时摩洛哥同意与以色列关系正常化，作为交换条件之一获得了美国对其在该争议地区主权的认可[1]。
Morocco has officially named a major highway after U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a letter from King Mohammed VI [1]. The Tiznit-Dakhla highway, which spans 1,055 kilometers (655 miles) and cost nearly one billion dollars to construct, connects southern and northern Morocco and passes through the disputed territory of Western Sahara [1].
In his letter dated July 2, 2024, the king emphasized the strength of bilateral relations, stating: "Although our relations have always been rooted in close friendship and constant loyalty, they have never been as vigorous and fruitful as during your two presidential terms" [1]. The naming reflects Morocco's appreciation for the Trump administration's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, a position the United States first adopted in 2020 when the Trump government acknowledged Morocco's claim over the territory as part of a broader normalization agreement between Morocco and Israel [1].
