Trump’s advisor: Morocco, a historic friend & if Trump wins, he will make substantial changes in the world, including in Sahara issue
“Donald Trump is a close friend (…) to the King of Morocco, because Morocco has been a historic friend of the United States. So, this historic friendship will continue”, said George G. Lombardi, advisor to republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“I’m sure there is a strong friendship regardless of everything else between Trump and King Mohammed VI, because both are concerned about their countries and their people, and both are trying to pursue peace and economic progress”, said Mr. Lombardi in an interview with Atalayar news outlet.
Asked if Trump could bring Algeria and the Polisario Front to the negotiating table to end the Sahara conflict once and for all, the presidential advisor said: “Yes, he could bring them to the negotiating table”, affirming that the United States as a country and as an institution both economically and militarily has always been very close to Morocco than other countries in the region.
According to Mr. Lombardi, the conflicts in the sub-Saharan region and the Sahara, including, of course, the terrorists sent by Iranian proxies (Polisario & Algeria) who are trying to destabilize parts of Morocco are going to disappear immediately the moment Trump comes to power without even using military force.
On the Royal Atlantic Initiative, Mr.Lombardi said most Americans and especially Western leaders have been impressed by this initiative which offers African landlocked countries Atlantic access. The move has a promising future. It will also transform the economies of the whole region and strengthen regional integration.
