He praised Morocco's leadership and its role as a key partner in promoting regional peace and stability. Trump also highlighted the commitment to enhance economic cooperation, particularly in sectors like energy and technology, and expressed a desire to deepen security collaboration in the Sahel region. The message underscores the historical bond between the U.S. and Morocco, celebrating 250 years of friendship and mutual respect.
