During a meeting with various African leaders at the White House, President Donald Trump praised Liberian President Joseph Boakai for his English speaking skills. Trump inquired where Boakai had attended school, to which Boakai politely responded without revealing that English is the official language in Liberia.
Liberia, Africa’s oldest republic, was established in 1822 by freed American slaves with the objective of relocating freed black individuals to the continent.
