Washington: US President Donald Trump threatened Nigeria on Saturday with possible military action over the alleged "killing of Christians." Trump warned that if the Nigerian Government continues to allow such actions, the United States would halt all aid and assistance and consider military intervention. According to Anadolu Agency, the threat follows Trump's claim that Christianity is under an "existential threat" in Nigeria, blaming "radical Islamists" for what he describes as "mass slaughter." Trump further instructed the Department of War to prepare for potential action, suggesting any attack would be swift and decisive. Trump's statements are said to mirror rhetoric from right-wing lawmakers who portray Nigeria's conflicts as attacks by radical Islamists on Christians. However, experts caution that this depiction oversimplifies the situation, as Nigeria's unrest is influenced by a complex mix of factors beyond religion, reported the Al Jazeera news network.
