King Mohammed VI sent a message of congratulations to Donald J. Trump following his election as President of the United States for a second term. In his message, the Sovereign expressed his sincere congratulations and best wishes for Trump's success in his presidential duties and his continued efforts to serve the American people. The King emphasized that Trump's resounding success in the elections is a testament to his patriotism and his dedication to upholding the best interests of the United States, «our longstanding friend and ally». The Sovereign reiterated that the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States share a historic alliance and strategic partnership that has withstood the test of time. He adds that «the values we share and our mutual interests across various sectors have enabled us to work together toward building a better future for our peoples, making our relationship a driving force for peace, security, and prosperity in the Middle East, Africa, and beyond». In his message, the King recalls that during Trump's previous term, bilateral ties reached an unprecedented level when the United States recognized Morocco's full sovereignty over its entire territory in the Sahara. The King emphasizes that this memorable act, for which the Moroccan people will forever be grateful, was a milestone and a pivotal moment, reflecting «the true depth of the special, longstanding relationship that holds the promise of even greater cooperation and a broader strategic partnership». «As we address an array of increasingly complex regional and global challenges, the Kingdom of Morocco will, more than ever, remain a true friend and loyal ally of the United States», the Sovereign writes, expressing his determination to work closely with Trump to «advance our shared interests and further enhance our unique alliance across all levels of cooperation».
