When you think that there is no more funny moment in the White House, Donald Trump arrives, and you are surprised. On this environment, the President of the United States met with his colleagues from Gabon, Guinea-Bisau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal in the White House, and made Live President Joseph Boacai, at least uncomfortable.
“Liberia has long been friends with the United States, and we believe in her policy in making the United States again,” Boacai said in English before protecting investments in the United States in his country. “We want to thank you for this opportunity,” he continued.
To which Trump answered, obviously, surprised: “What a good English, how fine …” “Where did you learn to speak so well on it? Where did you study? ”
Boacai did not know very well where to get, given that the official language of Liberia was English. So, Trump insisted: “Was it in Liberia?” To which his colleague replied: “Yes.”
“How interesting, how beautiful English,” followed the American. “There are people on this table who do not know how to say so well on it,” he said.
Liberia, on the western coast of Africa, was founded in 1822 by the American Society of Colonization as a colony for African Americans who were freed from slavery in the United States. Therefore, English is the official language of the country, although among the population more than 30 languages of indigenous peoples.
US independence was achieved in 1847, becoming the first and oldest modern African Republic, although the elite of the American-Liberian, at least until the end of the 20th century, prevailed in Liberia.
