Finally, the Biden administration announces its position towards the U.S. recognition decision of Morocco's sovereignty over Saharan that was taken under the Trump administration last December in the frame of a peace deal between Morocco and Israel to resume the diplomatic ties with the meditation of the United States.
The U.S. Department of State spokesperson said on Monday, at a press briefing in his answer to a question on the position of Biden's administration regarding the Sahara issue that "There are no updates at the moment. What we have said broadly still applies."
This official answer implies that there is no change in the U.S. recognition, which means that the new administration still adopts the decision that the previous administration took.
"We will continue to support the U.N. process to implement a just and lasting solution to this long-standing dispute in Morocco. We will continue to support the work of MINURSO to monitor the ceasefire and prevent violence in the area," the spokesperson of the U.S. Department of State added.
The U.S. president, Joe Biden, spoke on Wednesday by phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and announced his support to the normalization of relations between Israel and Arab states in the form of peace agreements, the white house website said in a statement.
Morocco was the third Arab country to sign an agreement with Israel to resume diplomatic ties in the last months under the U.S. meditation. The deal includes the U.S. recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara.
