The Joe Biden government is reinforcing the already very close relations of the United States with Morocco.

The head of US diplomacy,

, is going to travel to

soon, on a trip revealed by the Moroccan tabloid

and that the State Department has not yet made public.

Blinken

has always emphasized the strength of the bilateral relationship between the

and

.

Sometimes he has done it at the most inopportune moment for Spain, like when just ten months ago, in the middle of the Moroccan 'assault' on

, he spoke with Moroccan Foreign Minister

and then hung up on a 'tweet' celebrating the friendship between the two countries without taking into account the situation in the Spanish city.

On Friday, the

announced the nomination of

as ambassador to Morocco, which must now be approved by the Senate, which means it will still take several months.

Ratifications, moreover, may take longer, since they are subject to Washington's political game, which can be ruthless.

On Thursday, just a day after Ukrainian President

On Thursday, the question of whether, taking advantage of the international outcry over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United States is going to reconsider the recognition, made by Donald Trump, of the Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights, in Syria, and Western Sahara was raised twice at the

with the president's spokeswoman,

.

In both, the answer was the same: "I refer you to the State Department."
