U.S. Tells Morocco It Will Not Reverse Recognition of Moroccan Sovereignty over Western Sahara
(Axios) Barak Ravid - U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken told Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in a phone call on Friday that the Biden administration would not reverse President Trump's recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the Western Sahara, two sources familiar with the call said. U.S. recognition of the Western Sahara as part of Morocco last December was part of a broader deal that included the renewal of diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel. Senior White House and State Department officials have held multiple discussions on this issue over the last few weeks.
