Rabat – The United States president Donald Trump’s Senior Advisor for Africa, Massad Boulos, reaffirmed that the U.S. position on Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara is “clear and unequivocal.”
The American position is clear and unequivocal. The U.S. expressed this position repeatedly and clearly, just as Secretary of State Marco Rubio clearly did last week.
It is the same stance conveyed by President Donald Trump to His Majesty King Mohammed VI regarding the United States’ full recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, and American support for the autonomy plan put forward by Morocco as a solution to this dispute, Boulos emphasized in an exclusive interview with Medi1 TV and Radio.
This issue leaves no room for ambiguity, and any other information being circulated is merely erroneous and baseless speculation, he underscored.
The official position is that the United States of America reaffirms and recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, and President Trump’s Proclamation and that of the U.S. in 2020 is unequivocal, he continued.
He went on to stress that “no statement should be taken out of context or misinterpreted outside of its clear meaning.”
“As Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, we fully support the Moroccan autonomy proposal, which is serious, credible, and realistic, as a fair and definitive solution to this conflict,” the U.S. official stressed.
