Impact of the President Trump Highway

What does a road really connect?

Two places, perhaps,

but the roads that shape history connect something far greater.

Under the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,

and thanks to the historic courage of President Donald J. Trump,

the Moroccan Sahara has entered a new era

in the pursuit of peace, dialogue, and prosperity.

In 1777,

Morocco became the first nation to recognize the United States of America.

Nine years later, the Treaty of Peace and Friendship laid the foundation

for what remains the longest unbroken diplomatic relationship in U.S. history.

For two and a half centuries,

friendship, trust, and dialogue have bound Morocco and the United States,

and today,

the President Donald J. Trump Highway is its most concrete and lasting expression.

Some roads shorten distances,

others shape the future.

At a cost of nearly one billion dollars,

this road connecting Tiznit to Dakhla stretches over 1,055 kilometers,

making it one of the longest in Africa.

The President Donald J. Trump Highway forges a new continuity across Morocco's southern provinces,

connecting Atlantic Morocco with its natural African extension.

From Tiznit to Laayoune,

the highway runs for 555 kilometers through some of the continent's most spectacular landscapes.

A dual carriageway,

16 engineering structures, and Morocco's longest viaduct, turning a natural obstacle into a seamless link.

This section connects northern Morocco to Laayoune,

one of Africa's emerging Atlantic metropolises.

Further south, the President Donald J. Trump Highway pushes the horizon toward Dakhla,

one of Africa's most captivating destinations, and home to the future Atlantic port.

Positioned only days by sea from the major maritime gateways of Europe,

the Americas, and sub-Saharan Africa,

the port places the region as a hub within reach of the world.

The highway carries that connection inland,

forming a continuous corridor further into the African continent.

It opens territories long defined by distance,

unlocking the region's rich potential and laying the foundations for a new era of development.

Across its 1,055 kilometers,

the President Donald J. Trump Highway is more than a road.

It connects cities,

ports, markets, and people.

It is proof that when two nations united by friendship and a shared vision choose to act for peace,

nothing can stand in the way of prosperity.

Under the royal initiative to provide the Sahel states with access to the Atlantic Ocean,

the President Donald J. Trump Highway strengthens the link between the Atlantic and the Sahel states and reinforces Morocco's southern provinces as a strategic gateway between Africa and the world.

What does a road connect?

A shared past and a future shaped by a mutual vision forward?
