Trump praises Liberian president's 'beautiful English' - BBC Africa
President Donald Trump has complimented Liberian President Joseph Boakai on his English-speaking, during a meeting with several African leaders at the White House. Trump told Boakai he speaks "such good English", asking where he went to school. The visitor politely laughed, but did not mention that English is the official language of Liberia. Africa's oldest republic, Liberia was founded in 1822 by freed American slaves with the goal of resettling free black people in Africa.
