‘Where did you learn English?’: Trump’s gaffe leaves president of English-speaking Liberia bemused
‘Where did you learn English?’: Trump’s gaffe leaves president of English-speaking Liberia bemused.

US President Donald Trump indulged in yet another gaffe after he lauded the English of the president of Liberia , a country where English is the official language. On Wednesday, Trump was basking in the praise of a group of African leaders, right when Liberian President Joseph Boakai took the microphone.

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

Trump looked impressed by the Liberian president as he inquired where Boakai learned English from. “Such good English, such beautiful …” Trump said. “Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated?” Boakai was left amused by the assertion and chuckled since English is the official language of Liberia.

“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.

Liberia was founded in 1822 as a colony for free Black Americans, the brainchild of white Americans trying to address what they saw as a problem – the future for Black people in the United States once slavery ended. English is Liberia’s official language, though multiple Indigenous languages are spoken there as well.
