Trump Threatens Military Intervention in Nigeria Over Alleged Killing of Christians Trump requested the Pentagon develop a plan of attack, a day after claiming Christianity faced an "existential threat" in Nigeria, the US president said on his social media. He warned that if the Nigerian government "continues to allow the killing of Christians", the US would immediately cease all aid and assistance. Trump further added that he was instructing the Department of War to prepare for possible action, promising any attack would be "fast, vicious, and sweet," mirroring "terrorist thugs" attacking christians. In response to Trump's announcement, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu issued a statement on social media, asserting that the "characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality." Religious freedom and tolerance have always been and will remain a core tenet of Nigeria's collective identity, Tinubu added.
