- Christians live on the southern coast of Nigeria, while the vast northern region is Muslim-majority, and attacks continue in the south: The government has failed
Angry over the series of killings of Christians in Nigeria by Islamic extremists, President Trump has directly threatened, saying, ‘If the Nigerian government cannot stop these killings, America will not only stop the aid given to it but will also start bombing the bases of Islamic extremists in Nigeria and then the American army will eliminate those extremists. I have ordered the War Department to prepare and the attacks that will occur will be extremely destructive.”
President Trump wrote in a post on his Truth social account that if the Nigerian government does not stop these attacks, the United States will immediately stop all aid to Nigeria. It may even be that it will clear the Islamic terrorists by raining bullets. I have already ordered the War Department to prepare. Therefore, the Nigerian government should take action as soon as possible.
Although Trump had only warned before, Nigerian President Tinu Buhari had also assured President Trump that he would reduce them, but these attacks have continued. Therefore, Trump is fuming.
On the other hand, Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, says that Trump’s claim is misleading and baseless. Trump does not consider that statement acceptable, blaming Islamists for the persecution of Christians and the killing of their priests and other leaders. He has asked two federal lawmakers, Riley Moore and Tom Cole, to go to Nigeria to investigate this and to report their findings as soon as possible.
