Trump faces bipartisan, international pushback on Western Sahara recognition

President Trump’s decision to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over the contested territory of Western Sahara in exchange for the nation resuming ties with Israel is coming up against bipartisan and international pushback.

While welcoming the increasing number of countries normalizing relations with Israel, critics are concerned these deals are coming with a quid pro quo of large weapons sales and a disregard for human rights.

They also slam the president for throwing out decades of multilateral mediation and legitimizing forceful land grabs in violation of international law.
