Officially, Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency, so there might be specific potential benefits for Morocco based on his past foreign policy approach and the U.S.-Morocco relationship.

  1. Economic Cooperation and Trade Expansion: Trump’s administration previously focused on bilateral trade deals, and a renewed term could bring opportunities for Morocco to strengthen economic ties with the U.S. This could mean increased exports, especially in sectors where Morocco excels, like agriculture, textiles, and automotive components. It might also encourage American investment in Morocco, which could boost local industries and create jobs.
  2. Strategic Military and Security Collaboration: Trump’s administration previously prioritized strong relationships with allies in regions important for U.S. security, like North Africa. Morocco’s position as a stable nation in this region and its role in counter-terrorism efforts could make it a key partner. The U.S. might offer increased military aid, training, and intelligence-sharing that would strengthen Morocco’s security apparatus.
  3. Tourism and Cultural Exchange: With improved diplomatic ties, there could be an increase in tourism between the U.S. and Morocco. The Trump administration could promote Morocco as a travel destination, leading to growth in tourism, one of Morocco’s key economic sectors, and encouraging more cultural exchanges.
  4. Diplomatic Recognition and Western Sahara: In Trump’s first term, the U.S. recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, which was a significant diplomatic win for Morocco. If he were to win again, Morocco might anticipate continued support on this issue, helping solidify Morocco’s stance and regional stability around Western Sahara.
  5. Investment in Renewable Energy Projects: Given Morocco’s push toward renewable energy and Trump’s focus on promoting U.S. business interests, there could be room for increased U.S. investment in Morocco’s solar, wind, and green energy sectors, possibly aligning with U.S. companies seeking global partnerships in renewables.

Overall, a Trump win might bring about opportunities for Morocco to deepen its economic and strategic partnership with the U.S., potentially benefiting sectors like trade, tourism, security, and energy.
