US President Donald Trump has thanked Morocco's King Mohammed VI after the North African country named a major new highway in his honour.
“Thank you to Highly Respected Mohammed VI, the King of Morocco — such a great honor,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday alongside a video of the “President Donald J. Trump” highway.
The president said he looked forward to “traveling the entire length of this great highway someday, hopefully soon.”
The highway stretches 1,055 kilometres from Tiznit to Dakhla, a city in the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
The move underscored close ties between Washington and Rabat. Morocco has the longest unbroken treaty of friendship in US history, dating to 1786.
