A video clip<\/a> of Liberian President Joseph Boakai has been circulating on social media, purporting to show him discussing US President Donald Trump’s behavior during his meeting with leaders of five African countries. The video includes sharp criticism of Trump’s behavior, including insulting them by mocking their English proficiency, and accusing him of requesting a recommendation from the delegation for the Nobel Peace Prize. \u201cTrump is literally the worst president I have ever seen in my life,\u201d Boakai said in the video. \u201cHe is ignorant and extremely rude. The leaders of five of our countries traveled thousands of miles to come here to discuss trade with him, yet he raised his head and insulted me with gestures and asked me where I learned English, as if I were an ignorant peasant who knew nothing. If he had paid a little attention, he would have known that English is our mother tongue. We were all embarrassed on his behalf. What I cannot accept at all is that he had the audacity to ask us to write him a letter of recommendation for the Nobel Prize. This is ridiculous. The president of Israel wrote it just to please him. Does he really think he is an ambassador for peace? He has not visited Africa a single day since he took office. We, for example, as poor countries, sell weapons under the pretext of maintaining balance, but they still target our oil and minerals. I truly regret dealing with someone like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashif verified the video’s authenticity and found it to be fake and generated using artificial intelligence. The video was posted on TikTok by “Trend News” account, whose username is\u00a0\u00a0haojiafvm7v,<\/a>\u00a0on 10 July 2025, and indicated that it was generated using artificial intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The real video was posted by\u00a0BBC News Africa<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook on 28 March 2024, with the following description: \u201cCorruption is a poison; everything it touches is destroyed. In an interview with the Africa Daily podcast, Liberian President Joseph Boakai spoke with Allan Kasuga about fighting corruption, fixing the country\u2019s roads \u201cin the next 100 days,\u201d and more.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

He said in the video<\/a> : \u201cLook at Liberia today. Where are the clinics? Where are the schools? Where are the streets? Where are the roads? It\u2019s not because we couldn\u2019t build them, but because the money was transferred to individuals. And who are these individuals? They go abroad, they buy houses, but the country they made the money from, they\u2019re afraid to use it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So they leave. They forget that there are hundreds of children here who don’t go to school. There is no medical care. I have a close friend who is sick in Foya. He could have been taken by helicopter, but where are they? Corruption is poison. Everything it touches, it corrupts. It deprives people of good roads. It deprives others of proper medical facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You always wish you could go somewhere else when you can have everything here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is what corruption does. It destroys a country. It makes people disrespectful because others think we\u2019re a country that lives on aid, when we shouldn\u2019t be.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 9 July 2025, US President Donald Trump\u00a0hosted<\/a>\u00a0a mini-summit at the White House with the leaders of five African countries: Liberia, Mauritania, Senegal, Gabon, and Guinea-Bissau. The summit\u00a0aimed<\/a>\u00a0to discuss ways to strengthen trade relations between the United States and West Africa. Trump promised the leaders of these countries a shift from providing aid to promoting trade and investment in natural resources such as oil and minerals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International media outlets, including\u00a0CNN<\/a>, reported on Trump’s conversational style with leaders, including his interruption of the Mauritanian president and his demand that the Guinea-Bissau president identify himself and his country. He also expressed his admiration for the Liberian president’s English and asked him where he learned it, even though English is the official language in Liberia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During\u00a0the press conference<\/a>, an African journalist asked the African heads of state if they intended to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, and Trump laughed and said she was a great journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
