U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau reaffirmed Washington’s recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in a meeting with Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita, pledging support for U.S. business investment across Morocco. The move reinforces Rabat’s Autonomy Proposal as the only U.S.-backed solution, even as the UN continues to list Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory, with Security Council divisions over its future unresolved.
