"On board the Air Force One, when asked by reporters if he envisioned US military action in Nigeria Trump replied, "Could be." "I envisage a lot of things. They're killing record numbers of Christians in Nigeria ... They're killing the Christians and killing them in very large numbers. We're not going to allow that to happen," the US president added."
""The US will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities," Trump warned on his Truth Social platform. He further directed the Department of Defense which Trump has rebranded as the Department of War to prepare for possible action. "If we attack, it will be fast, vicious and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!""
President Donald Trump warned of possible US military action in Nigeria in response to alleged mass killings of Christians, saying the US could deploy troops or carry out air strikes. Trump announced a halt to aid and threatened to enter Nigeria "guns-a-blazing" to target Islamic militants accused of atrocities, and directed the Department of Defense, which he referred to as the Department of War, to prepare. Trump described any attack as potentially "fast, vicious and sweet." The administration reinstated Nigeria on a list of Countries of Particular Concern for religious freedom, while US officials have not provided evidence that Christians face targeted killings more than other groups and Nigeria has denied the claims.
