In Morocco, a highway was named after Donald Trump, "in honor"

In Morocco, a major highway has been renamed after former U.S. President Donald Trump as a gesture of respect, according to a letter sent by Moroccan King Mohammed VI to Trump, reported by the BBC. The highway, previously known as the Tiznit-Dakhla Expressway, connects southern Morocco with Western Sahara and is over 1,055 kilometers long. The renaming was announced by Moroccan state media, though no official statement from Moroccan authorities was released at the time. In his letter, King Mohammed VI described the recognition as a historic acknowledgment that would remain etched in the memories of Moroccans. The highway project is part of broader geopolitical dynamics involving Morocco’s claims over Western Sahara, which is also claimed by the Polisario Front.

In Morocco, a highway is named after Donald Trump
