Blinken is meeting his counterpart Nawsser Bourita. They met earlier in the Neguev desert in Israel along with three ministers of Arab countries and Israel. The talks in Morocco will focus on bilateral and regional security, counterterrorism operations in the Sahel and the economic impact of the conflict in Ukraine, such as the risk of wheat shortages. But the disputed region of Western Sahara should be at the top of the agenda. In 2020, former US president Donald Trump said the territory was Moroccan and three weeks ago, the U.S. supported Rabat’s autonomy plan.
