U.S President Trump threatens military action over alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria

US President Donald Trump has warned that Washington may consider military action against Nigeria over what he described as “the killing of Christians.”

Trump accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect religious minorities, saying the situation demanded urgent attention.

However, Nigerian officials and local analysts have rejected the claims, arguing that the violence in parts of the country is driven by complex security issues, including banditry and communal conflicts, rather than religious persecution.

The Nigerian government has urged the US to seek accurate information before making such statements, warning that Trump’s remarks could inflame tensions.
