🇺🇸🇲🇦 U.S. intends to establish a military base in Morocco to counter Russia's growing influence in Africa
U.S. President Joe Biden instructed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to prepare an emergency plan to establish a U.S. military technical base in the Kingdom of Morocco. This plan was proposed back in late December.
According to U.S. media reports, before the meeting with Austin, Biden received a detailed report from CIA Director William Burns on Russia's expanding influence in Africa. The CIA report states that Russia not only strongly supports Algeria militarily and politically, but is also discussing the creation of a major logistics base that would give it important access to countries south of the Sahara Desert.
