Donald Trump Acknowledges Moroccan Infrastructure Project
On July 27, 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media to express gratitude towards King Mohammed VI of Morocco for the construction of a significant infrastructure project dubbed the "Donald Trump Expressway." In a post shared on his platform, Truth Social, Trump stated, "Thank you to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, King of Morocco! It is a great honor! I look forward to traveling the entire length of this great highway someday, and I hope that will be soon!" This statement underscores the importance of international relations and the collaborative efforts in infrastructure development.
The Moroccan state news agency reported that Trump's message was in response to a video showcasing the strategic highway project, which spans approximately 1,055 kilometers. This initiative represents one of the largest infrastructure endeavors in Morocco, aimed at enhancing road connectivity between the northern regions of the country and its southern provinces.
Economic and Developmental Significance of the Highway
The video highlighted the economic and developmental importance of the Tiznit-Dakhla highway, which is designed to facilitate the movement of people and goods, bolster investment, and enhance trade exchanges. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in implementing a royal initiative that enables Sahel countries to access the Atlantic coast, thereby fostering regional cooperation and solidifying Morocco's position as a strategic link between Africa and the Atlantic space.
The Moroccan agency emphasized that this project has garnered significant attention as one of the key initiatives that the kingdom is relying on to promote development in its southern regions and strengthen its infrastructure to meet the economic and strategic needs of the area.
