The Liberian Leader, President George Manneh Weah has expressed heartfelt appreciation to President Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, the Government and people of the United States for the opportunity granted Liberians on the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED), to stay in the U.S. for another year. The Liberian leader also commended the United States Embassy accredited near Monrovia, headed by Ambassador Christine Elder, for the role played in making the process a success. President Weah expressed hope that the concerned Liberians will utilize the extension of the DED to contribute to the American society in the most positive way and continue to be law-abiding residents. The Liberian leader said the gesture clearly speaks to the U.S. government’s unwavering commitment to upholding the bond of friendship and cooperation between the two nations. The grant of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Liberians who would otherwise be returned from the U.S. was last extended by President Obama.
