Boakai, Trump Converse By Phone

MONROVIA-President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., on Sunday held a cordial telephone conversation with United States President Donald J. Trump, focusing on strengthening bilateral relations and advancing cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

The call, which took place on Sunday, December 21, 2025, was received by President Boakai at the Executive Mansion in Monrovia, according to an official release from the Presidency.

During the conversation, the two leaders discussed issues related to regional peace and stability, as well as collaboration in key sectors including governance, economic development, and security. President Trump extended warm greetings to President Boakai and the people of Liberia, while acknowledging the historic and longstanding relationship between the two nations.

President Boakai welcomed the engagement and used the opportunity to outline Liberia’s national priorities, emphasizing his administration’s commitment to good governance, sustainable economic growth, and national development.

Both leaders expressed optimism about maintaining continued dialogue and deepening engagement between Liberia and the United States in support of shared democratic values and development goals.

The high-level interaction comes as Liberia advances its national development agenda following its assumption of a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, a position that places the country at the center of global peace and security discussions.

The telephone exchange underscores the enduring diplomatic ties between Monrovia and Washington and signals continued cooperation as Liberia strengthens its international role under the Boakai administration.
