Morocco emboldened by Trump ties after Ceuta crisis

The deadly influx of more than 70,000 people into Spain's Ceuta enclave has put Washington-Rabat relations under scrutiny, with analysts suggesting Morocco may have been emboldened by its close ties to the Trump administration. Experts note Morocco's recent naming of a $1bn highway after Trump and its recognition of Western Sahara sovereignty, while the US blamed Spain's Socialist government rather than Morocco. The incident highlights tensions between the US, Spain, and Morocco.
