 Liberia says 'no offence taken' over Trump's praise of president's English


Liberia's president was "honoured" to meet US counterpart Donald Trump this week and wasn't offended by Trump's comment about his fluency in English -- his mother tongue -- Liberia's foreign minister said.


The US president's gaffe has even inspired a catchy tribute song in the west African country, Foreign Minister Sara Beysolow Nyanti told AFP.


Trump praised President Joseph Boakai on Wednesday on his English-speaking skills, apparently unaware that English is the official language of Liberia.


Responding to remarks Boakai made at a White House mini-summit alongside the presidents of five mineral-rich, French-speaking countries in west Africa, the US leader said: "Such good English... Where were you educated?"


‘No offence taken’


Boakai - who, like most Liberians, speaks English as a first language - laughed and replied he had been educated in his home country.


"We were honoured by the White House's invitation to President Boakai for a meeting with President Trump and fellow African leaders," Nyanti said.


"No offence was taken."


She said Liberia was keen to strengthen ties with the United States, "built on mutual respect".


Liberia is the oldest republic in sub-Saharan Africa. It was founded in 1822 when the American Colonization Society, funded by the US Congress and slaveholders, began sending freed slaves to its shores.


Thousands of "Americo-Liberian" settlers followed.


They declared independence in 1847 and set up a government to rule over the native African majority.


Tribute to Boakai


English is the official language and the most widely used throughout the country.


In response to Trump's faux pas, singer and former cultural ambassador Queen Juli Endee penned a song in tribute to Boakai.


"We salute JNB, our black president, Beautiful English King of Africa," she and her band sing in a video widely shared on social media.


The clip shows them waving US flags and wearing T-shirts bearing the images of Boakai and Trump.
