The president of the United States, Donald Trump, praised the Liberian president, Joseph Boakai, for speaking “good English” and asked where he had learned it.

What Trump could have been overlooking is that Liberia has a unique and lasting connection with the United States.

English is the official language of the country and many Liberians speak with an American accent due to these historical ties with the US.

It is very possible that this accent is what Trump has noticed.
