    Donald Trump praises Liberian president’s English – the country’s official language

    Donald Trump has praised the Liberian president’s command of English – the West African country’s official language.

    The US president reacted with visible surprise to Joseph Boakai’s English-speaking skills during a White House meeting with leaders from the region on Wednesday.

    After the Liberian president finished his brief remarks, Mr Trump told him he speaks “such good English” and asked: “Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”

    Mr Trump seemed surprised when Mr Boakai laughed and responded he learned in Liberia.

    The US president said: “It’s beautiful English.

    “I have people at this table who can’t speak nearly as well.”

    Mr Boakai did not tell Mr Trump that English is the official language of Liberia.

    The country was founded in 1822 with the aim of relocating freed African slaves and freeborn black citizens from the US.

    Mr Trump promised the leaders of Liberia, Senegal, Gabon, Mauritania and Guinea-Bissau a pivot from aid to trade at the surprise meeting.

    He described the countries as “all very vibrant places with very valuable land, great minerals, and great oil deposits, and wonderful people”.

    Later asked by a reporter if he’ll visit the continent, Mr Trump said, “At some point, I would like to go to Africa.”

    But he added that he’d “have to see what the schedule looks like”.

    Trump’s predecessor, President Joe Biden, promised to go to Africa in 2023, but only fulfilled the commitment by visiting Angola in December 2024, just weeks before he left office.

    During a White House meeting, Donald Trump expressed surprise and admiration for Liberian President Joseph Boakai's English-speaking skills, commenting that he speaks "such good English" and querying where he learned it.
