At a White House meeting, US President Donald Trump expressed surprise at Liberian President Joseph Boakai’s fluent English, asking: “Where did you learn to speak English so beautifully?” Boakai smiled and replied, “I learned it in Liberia.”
Trump described Boakai’s language skills as “interesting and very beautiful” during talks that covered US-Liberia relations, trade, and African development. Political observers noted the exchange as a positive diplomatic moment, highlighting that English remains Liberia’s official language due to its historical colonial ties.
Separately, Trump announced a new 50% tariff on all imports from Brazil during the same meeting, though no further details were provided.
