""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 posted on social media. "I am hereby instructing our 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!""
""In a social media statement on Saturday, Tinubu said that the characterization of Nigeria as a religiously intolerant country does not reflect the national reality. "Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so," Tinubu said. "Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths."""
President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin planning for possible military action in Nigeria and warned he would immediately stop all U.S. aid if the government continues to allow killings of Christians. He said forces may go into the country "guns-a-blazing" to wipe out Islamic terrorists and instructed the Department of War to prepare for action described as fast, vicious, and sweet. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu rejected the characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant, affirmed constitutional protections for all faiths, and stated that Nigeria opposes religious persecution. Senator Ted Cruz urged a formal designation over religious freedom concerns.
