ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS With King Mohammed VI of Morocco's decision, the Tiznit-Dakhla Highway, one of the country's major transportation projects, will henceforth be known as the 'President Donald J. Trump Highway.'
The road, approximately 1,055 kilometers long, connects the city of Tiznit in Morocco to the city of Dakhla in Western Sahara and is considered one of the country's most strategic land transportation projects.
NOTEWORTHY STEP FOLLOWING THE 2020 DECISION The Trump administration in 2020 became the first U.S. administration to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. Naming the highway after Trump is seen as a symbolic gesture of the relationship between Rabat and Washington.
