DR ‹ › In 2025, Morocco significantly bolstered its lobbying efforts in the United States, with its budget soaring to nearly $900,000, up from $520,000 in 2024, as reported by an American media outlet specializing in tracking Washington's lobbying contracts. Despite this notable increase, the 2025 spending did not set a new record. In 2023, Morocco allocated approximately $1.1 million to these activities, following an expenditure of nearly $1.4 million in 2022, according to the same source. Meanwhile, Algeria has also boosted its lobbying budget in the United States. In 2025, Algiers spent $300,000, up from $247,000 in 2023, while in 2022, its expenses barely exceeded $305, as noted by the same source. In September 2024, Algeria, through its embassy in Washington, secured a contract with the BGR Group, a firm known for its connections to Donald Trump's Republican Party and Israel, to advance its interests among American policymakers. This contract has been recently extended until September 9, 2026.
