"If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA 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."
Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin planning possible military action in Nigeria and threatened to immediately stop all U.S. aid if killings of Christians continue. He warned of entering Nigeria 'guns-a-blazing' to wipe out Islamic terrorists and instructed the Department of War to prepare for possible action, describing any attack as potentially 'fast, vicious, and sweet.' Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rejected the characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant and affirmed constitutional protections and religious freedom. U.S. Senator Ted Cruz urged a designation of Nigeria as a violator of religious freedom amid claims of mass killings. Nigeria has roughly equal Christian and Muslim populations and longstanding security challenges.
