President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Sunday asserting that a 655‑mile expressway connecting the Moroccan cities of Tiznit and Dakhla in the disputed Western Sahara region has been renamed in his honor, calling it the “Donald J. Trump Highway.” The claim was accompanied by a video featuring dramatic narration that praised both the Moroccan king and Trump’s alleged role in the project. As of the afternoon that day, no Moroccan government representative had confirmed the renaming, and journalists could find no independent evidence that the road bears his name. The White House and the Moroccan embassy in Washington were contacted for comment but had not responded at the time of reporting.
