United States President Donald Trump has reiterated his country's support for Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, emphasizing that Morocco's autonomy proposal remains the only viable solution to the ongoing dispute. The conflict has long seen Morocco face off against the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, which seeks independence for the territory. Trump's statement, delivered to Morocco's King Mohammed the Sixth, marks his first public remarks on the issue during his second term, reaffirming a policy first established at the end of his initial term. The United States' stance aligns with recent support from other major powers, while Algeria continues to push for a referendum on independence and declines to participate in United Nations-led talks.
