US report calling Ceuta Moroccan emboldens Morocco to pressure Spain

merkur.de (German)

A US House report calling Ceuta Moroccan territory encouraged Morocco to push about 60,000 migrants into the Spanish enclave, as pressure on Spain's government, analysts say. The July 15 report by Trump's Republican-dominated House described Ceuta and Melilla as Moroccan territory under Spanish administration. Observers link it to tensions with Spain's PM Pedro Sanchez, who opposed US Iran policy and criticized Israel's Gaza campaign. Morocco backed US wars, allowed US Navy use of Tangier port, and renamed a Western Sahara highway after Trump. The US also courts right-wing European leaders, while Musk and Vance criticized EU migration and censorship.
