Spain’s foreign ministry summoned Morocco’s ambassador in Madrid to clarify a pledge by its prime minister to stake claims for two Spanish enclaves in north Africa, days after the Trump administration recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara.
“Spain expects that all its partners respect our country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Spanish foreign ministry said in a statement that announced the summoning of Morocco’s ambassador Karima Benyaich.
