U.S. President Donald Trump has once again issued a forceful warning to Nigeria, intensifying his stance over what he describes as the ongoing, brutal massacre of Christians across the country.
In a newly surfaced video highlighted by Instablog, Trump condemned the repeated attacks on Christian communities, calling them a “horrible massacre” allegedly carried out by radical Islamist extremists.
He expressed outrage over the rising death toll and insisted that the U.S. must take a more aggressive stance in defending religious freedom worldwide.
Trump Calls for Nigeria to Be Declared a ‘Country of Particular Concern’
Trump urged that Nigeria be officially designated as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) under U.S. law—a classification given to nations accused of enabling or ignoring severe violations of religious liberty.
“Christianity is facing a serious threat in Nigeria. Thousands and thousands are being killed,” he said. “Radical Islamists are responsible for this bloodshed. When Christians or any group of faith are slaughtered, something must be done.”
The U.S. President revealed that he has directed Congress, along with West Virginia Treasurer Riley Moore, to urgently investigate the situation and deliver a comprehensive report without delay.
‘The United States Will Not Stand By’ — Trump Issues Stern Warning
Trump asserted that America cannot remain silent or passive while such violence continues. He vowed that the U.S. is ready to protect Christian populations worldwide and will act if necessary.
“The United States will not stand by while these atrocities happen. We stand ready, willing, and able to protect our Christian population across the world. The killing of Christians must stop,” he declared.
He then issued a sharp warning to Nigeria’s government, hinting strongly at potential U.S. military intervention if authorities fail to act decisively against the attackers.
“We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria won’t be happy about,” Trump warned. “If we act, it will be fast, fierce, and decisive. We will completely wipe out the terrorists responsible for these crimes.”
Global Reactions and Rising Tension
Trump’s renewed threat has sent shockwaves across diplomatic circles, reigniting worldwide attention on the escalating attacks facing Christian communities in Nigeria.
Human rights groups, international observers, and religious bodies are now closely monitoring the situation, especially given the severity of Trump’s words and the possibility of U.S. action.
As the controversy deepens, pressure mounts on Nigerian authorities to respond swiftly and reassure both citizens and the international community of its commitment to ending the violence.
