Trump praises the English of president whose country's official language is English

Donald Trump has praised the Liberian president's command of English – the West African country's official language.

The US president reacted with visible surprise to Joseph Boakai's English-speaking skills during a White House meeting with leaders from the region on Wednesday. After the Liberian president finished his brief remarks, Mr Trump told him he speaks "such good English" and asked: "Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?" Mr Trump seemed surprised when Mr Boakai laughed and responded he learned in Liberia.

The US president said: "It's beautiful English. "I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well." Mr Boakai did not tell Mr Trump that English is the official language of Liberia.
