BREAKING: President Donald Trump has just threatened military action against Nigeria if the government fails to halt the ongoing slaughter of Christians by Islamic terrorists. In a bold statement on Truth Social, Trump warned that if Nigeria does not act quickly, the United States will consider sending troops “guns-a-blazing” to eliminate the terrorists responsible for the mass killings.
The urgency of this situation is underscored by the shocking statistics shared by Republican Rep. Riley Moore of West Virginia. Moore revealed that 7,000 Christians have been murdered in Nigeria this year alone, averaging 35 deaths per day for simply practicing their faith. He emphasized that this is not just a crisis, but a systematic campaign of persecution, noting that between 50,000 and 100,000 Christians have been killed in recent years. “Nigeria has become the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian,” Moore stated.
Trump’s announcement follows his condemnation of the Nigerian government’s inaction. He insisted that the U.S. will “immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria” if the killings continue. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action,” he declared, emphasizing that if an attack occurs, it will be swift and decisive.
In response to Trump’s comments, Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Yusuf Maitama Tuggar denied the characterization of these killings as genocide, stating, “Let the record show that there is no genocide, now or ever, in Nigeria.” This tension highlights the growing international scrutiny over the Nigerian government’s handling of extremist violence.
As this situation develops, eyes are now on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to whom Moore has called for immediate action to address the crisis. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” Trump stated, as he declared Nigeria a “COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN,” a designation that could jeopardize its aid status.
The stakes are incredibly high, with the potential for U.S. military involvement looming. The world is watching as this urgent crisis unfolds. Reports indicate that the international community is increasingly concerned about the safety of Christians in Nigeria, raising questions about the government’s role in the violence.
As developments continue, it remains critical to stay informed on this pressing issue that affects countless lives. The call for action from U.S. officials has set a new tone in addressing religious persecution globally, urging immediate dialogue and response to protect vulnerable communities.
