President Donald Trump was not known to be a sharp student in school. So it’s not particularly surprising that he would have forgotten the U.S.’s long history with Liberia, an African nation first settled by freed slaves from the U.S. that has had English as its official language since the 1800s.
However, that didn’t stop several Liberian commentators from speaking out in anger at Trump’s comments to Liberian President Joseph Boakai on Wednesday at the White House.
In an AP News report published on Thursday afternoon, the Liberian opposition leader said that Trump’s praise of Boakai’s English was “condescending” and “very disrespectful” to the Liberian president.
