Trump Threatens Nigeria with Military Action
President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to plan for potential military action in Nigeria, citing the persecution of Christians.
In Nigeria, attacks have various motives, including religious, communal, and ethnic clashes. However, Trump alleges that the government is not doing enough to stop the persecution of Christians.
"If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. 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 also warned that he would stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria if the situation does not improve.
