The US embassy in Morocco has been without an ambassador since 2017. The US Senators have not confirmed yet the nomination of American businessman David T. Fischer, who was named by Donald Trump as the US new ambassador to Morocco two years ago.
In 2002, King Mohammed VI offered President George W. Bush a gift worth $20,000. The Moroccan monarch was very generous with the US President family, giving the Obamas a valuable gift in 2016. The King is not on the list of foreign leaders who showered Donald Trump with gifts.
Following the commemoration of the First World War Armistice in France, many tabloids and newspapers published a series of videos showing King Mohammed VI dozing off at the ceremony. The news was exploited by some newspapers, especially those close to the Polisario.
The US Midterm elections have brought a new trend to the political scene in the country. Americans elected the nation’s first Muslim congresswomen, Democrats, people of color and LGBT politicians.
