This is how Liberians reacted to Trump’s surprise at the President’s English skills

Donald Trump’s praise of his Liberian counterpart, Joseph Boakai, prompted criticism and offense in the country. Liberia was founded in 1822 by the American Colonization Society whose goal was to resettle freed slaves in Africa. The country declared independence in 1847, and a variety of languages are spoken in Liberia today, with English being the official language.
