VIDEO: Moment Trump asked Liberian President where he learnt his ‘good spoken English’ from

President Donald Trump was enjoying praise from a group of African leaders on Wednesday, many of whom spoke in different languages, when the President of Liberia addressed the gathering in English — the official language of his country.

“Liberia is a longtime friend of the United States and we believe in your policy of making America great again,” President Joseph Boakai said at a White House meeting before advocating for U.S. investment in his country. “We just want to thank you so much for this opportunity.”

Trump was impressed and inquired where Boakai got his language skills.

“Such good English,” Trump said. “Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”

Boakai seemed to chuckle.

“In Liberia?” Trump asked. “Yes sir,” Boakai said.

“That’s very interesting,” Trump said. “I have people at this table who can’t speak nearly as well.”

Liberia was established in 1822 as a colony for freed Black Americans, an initiative led by white Americans who viewed it as a solution to what they perceived as a challenge: the future of Black people in the United States after the abolition of slavery. While English is the official language of Liberia, numerous Indigenous languages are also spoken throughout the country.
