'Biden's failure to rescind Trump’s recognition of the Moroccan conquest will not only prolong the bitter conflict in Western Sahara, but will also contribute to undermining the liberal international order in place since the end of World War II.'

In his final weeks in office, President Donald Trump stunned the international community in formally recognizing Western Sahara as part of Morocco. Morocco has occupied much of its southern neighbor since 1975, when it invaded and annexed the former Spanish colony in defiance of the United Nations Security Council and a landmark ruling of the International Court of Justice.

Most observers believed that, as with some of Trump's other impetuous foreign policy decisions, President Joe Biden would reverse it soon after coming to office. However, much to the disappointment of bipartisan congressional leaders, career State Department officials, major U.S. allies, North Africa scholars, and the human rights community, he has refused to do so.

Biden administration officials have repeatedly refused to answer press queries regarding the U.S. recognition. In response to direct questions from reporters, they pivot to vague statements in support of the"peace process.

Ukrainian President pushes back on Biden: 'There are no minor incursions'Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly pushed back Thursday on US President Joe Biden's comments that a 'minor incursion' by Russia into Ukraine would prompt a lesser response than a full-scale invasion, in an implicit rebuke of Biden's comments. Zelenskyy is right. That was a mistake. Would POTUS say the same thing if the Russians would initiate a 'minor incursion' in Alaska? There is no such thing as a 'minor' incursion in a sovereign country. They are all major. Please type 'total number of stars in universe' in GOOGLE......an average of 100 billion stars per galaxy ?
