Trump threatens to send US military into Nigeria with ‘guns-a-blazing’ President claims government in Abuja is allowing Christians to be killed
Donald Trump has threatened to send the US military into Nigeria with “guns-a-blazing” if the African country does not stem what he described as the killing of Christians by Islamists.
Mr Trump said on on Saturday that he had asked the Pentagon to map out a possible plan of attack, one day after warning that Christianity was “facing an existential threat in Nigeria”.
“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,” Mr Trump said on Truth Social.
Mr Trump posted on Friday, without evidence, that “thousands of Christians are being killed (and) Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”
Conservative politicians in the US have fuelled the accusations.
In March, Chris Smith, congressman for New Jersey, called for Nigeria to be listed by the State Department as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) - a move announced by Mr Trump on Friday over what he called an “existential threat” to the African nation’s Christian population.
