President Donald Trump asserted on Truth Social that Morocco had renamed its longest highway after him, thanking King Mohammed VI in a post that included a video. The 1,055-kilometer coastal route, which runs through the disputed Western Sahara, is officially referred to by Moroccan infrastructure officials as the Tiznit-Dakhla Expressway; authorities have not verified the claimed renaming. The situation matters because the road is part of a larger southern development project in a contested territory, and Trump’s unconfirmed announcement raises questions about the status of the designation.
