Morocco is positioning itself as a key player in U.S. investments and regional stability.

Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch recently engaged with a U.S. congressional delegation, highlighting Morocco’s reform projects and the U.S. support for its autonomy initiative. The discussions emphasized Morocco’s potential as a hub for U.S. investments in the region.

Morocco’s Strategic Discussions with U.S. Congress

During the talks, Akhannouch underscored the importance of U.S. backing for Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces. This initiative aligns with Morocco’s broader reform agenda aimed at enhancing its regional influence.

The meeting served as a platform to explore collaborative opportunities, suggesting a mutually beneficial relationship between Morocco and the U.S. in various sectors, including investment and economic development.

Morocco’s Role in Trump’s Peace Initiative

In a significant diplomatic move, Morocco’s king has accepted an invitation from Donald Trump to join his board of peace. This initiative, initially aimed at overseeing the rebuilding of Gaza, is not limited to Palestinian territories.

Membership on this board comes with a substantial commitment, as Trump has set a price tag of 1 billion U.S. dollars for a membership lasting over three years. Morocco joins other nations like Hungary, Russia, Canada, and France in this initiative, although initial responses from some countries have been cautious.

Next Steps for Morocco and U.S. Relations

  • Implementation of Morocco’s reform projects.
  • Further discussions on U.S. investments in Morocco.
  • Monitoring responses from other invited countries regarding the board of peace.

Morocco is actively shaping its role in regional stability and international investment.
