Donald Trump has expressed deep outrage over the continued att@cks on Christians in Nigeria, describing the situation as a “horrible mass+cre” allegedly carried out by radical Islamists.
In a strongly worded statement, Trump declared that Nigeria should be designated a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) under U.S. law a classification reserved for nations that commit or tolerate severe vi%lations of religious freedom.
“Christianity is facing a thr+at in Nigeria thousands and thousands are being k+lled,” Trump said. “Radical Islamists are responsible for this mansla¥ghter. When Christians or any search group are sla¥ghtered like this, something has to be done.”
Trump further disclosed that he had asked the U.S. Congress, alongside West Virginia Treasurer Riley Moore, to immediately investigate the matter and report back “without delay.”
The United States cannot stand by such atrocities happening in Nigeria and other countries,” he said. “We stand ready, willing, and able to save our great Christian population around the world. The k+lling of Christians is not going to happen.”
Trump went on to issue a stern warning, suggesting possible U.S. military intervention if the situation persists.
“We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going to be happy about and may very well go into that now disgraced country, g+ns are blazing, to completely wipe out the Islamic terr+rists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump stated. “I’m hereby instructing our department of war to prepare for possible action. If we att@ck, it will be fast, viscous, and sweet just like the terr+rist our cherished Christians.”
Trump’s remarks have drawn global attention, with analysts warning that such statements could strain U.S. Nigeria relations and heighten tensions amid ongoing calls for international intervention over religious persecution in the country.
