Washington said it would continue working with the parties concerned and the United Nations to help achieve a permanent solution.
The US State Department shared the message through remarks by US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz.
Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, the United States will continue coordinating with the relevant parties and the UN, the statement said.
“The door to peace remains open to all parties — and to all observers”, Washington added.
Washington Calls for Progress
The United States also stressed the need to move beyond decades of unsuccessful efforts.
“After 50 years of wishing for peace, speeches delivered in the UN Security Council chamber, and frankly, some promises that were not fulfilled, the Sahrawi people deserve better”, the US representative said.
“They deserve peace. The United States is determined to achieve it”.
Therefore, Washington says it wants to play an active role in efforts to find a political solution.
UN Deadlock Raises New Questions
The renewed US commitment comes at a difficult time for the UN process.
Recently, major powers failed to reach an agreement at the UN Security Council on a US-backed draft resolution.
Russia used its veto against the US proposal. Meanwhile, an alternative Russian draft failed to win enough support.
As a result, the Security Council did not reach an agreement.
The deadlock led to the end of MINURSO’s mandate and the start of a liquidation process.
However, Washington’s latest statement puts fresh focus on diplomacy.
The United States has repeatedly backed Morocco’s autonomy initiative as a serious and credible basis for resolving the dispute. It has also described the plan as realistic and practical.
Now, the renewed US commitment suggests that Washington wants to maintain diplomatic momentum despite the latest setback.
Focus Turns to the Next Steps
The UN process now faces an uncertain period.
However, Washington says it remains committed to finding a lasting solution.
The key question is whether the United States can turn that commitment into concrete diplomatic progress.
For now, its message is clear: Washington intends to remain actively involved in efforts to bring the decades-long dispute to an end.
