Trump stunned viewers by asking the President of Liberia — an officially English-speaking nation — “Where did you learn English?” The awkward exchange drew laughter, disbelief, and criticism online, with many calling it culturally ignorant and diplomatically embarrassing. Liberia, founded by freed American slaves in the 1800s, has English as its official language. The gaffe adds to Trump's long list of headline-making moments as he continues to dominate the spotlight on the global stage.

00:12Yes, sir.

00:14Yes, sir.
00:15Well, that's very interesting.
00:17It's beautiful English.
00:18Sure.
00:19I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well.
00:21Very good, sir.
00:23In Liberia.
00:24Yeah.
00:25We'd like to see that happen.
00:27We want to work.
00:29We want to work with the United States in peace and security within the region.
00:34Because we are committed to that.
00:36And we just want to thank you so much for this opportunity.
00:39Well, thank you.
00:40And such good English.
00:41Such beautiful.
00:42Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?
00:45Where?
00:46Were you educated where?
00:48Yes, sir.
00:49In Liberia?
00:50Yes, sir.
00:51Well, that's very interesting.
00:52That's beautiful English.
00:54Sure.
00:55I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well.
00:58But there's still much more to be done.
01:01And we're going to be facilitating peace also in places like Sudan, where they have a lot
01:07of problems.
01:08Libya and others.
01:10We have a lot of there's a lot of anger on your continent.
01:14And we've been able to solve a lot of it.
01:17But my administration is committed to strengthening our friendships in Africa through economic development
01:23efforts that benefit both the United States and our partners.
01:27And we're shifting from AID to trade.
01:31We had AID, or aid as we sometimes call it, right to trade.
01:38And trade seems to be a foundation that I've been able to settle a lot of these disputes,
01:42like as an example, India and Pakistan.
01:46We encourage the countries here today to make greater investments in defense.
01:51Hopefully, of course, buying our equipment, because we do make the best defense equipment.
01:56I guess we proved that about two weeks ago in Iran.
01:59But we make the best equipment, best military equipment anywhere in the world by far.
02:03There's nobody close.
02:05And keep pursuing the fight against terrorism, which is a big problem in Africa.
02:11And trade seems to be a foundation that I've been able to settle a lot of these disputes,
02:16like as an example, India and Pakistan, Kosovo, Serbia.
02:21I said, you guys are going to fight, we're not going to trade.
02:25And we seem to be quite successful in doing that.
02:28To that end, we have closed the USAID group to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse,
02:34which was tremendous waste, fraud and abuse.
02:37And we're working tirelessly to forge new economic opportunities involving both the United States
02:42and many African nations.
02:44There's great economic potential in Africa, like few other places in many ways.
02:50In the long run, this will be far more effective and sustainable and beneficial
02:55than anything else that we can be doing together.
