According to report by Daily Post on Saturday, November 1, 2025, United States President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the Nigerian government, threatening possible military intervention if the alleged killings of Christians in the country persist.
According to a report by Reuters, Trump made this declaration on Saturday through a post on his Truth Social platform, directing the U.S. Department of Defense to begin preparations for potential military action in Nigeria.
The statement follows Trump’s recent decision to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over what he described as “systematic genocide” against Christians. The U.S. government also announced an immediate suspension of all forms of aid and assistance to Nigeria pending further review.
“We may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns blazing, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists responsible for these terrible atrocities,” Trump stated, according to Reuters.
The announcement has sparked widespread reactions from Nigerians at home and abroad, with many expressing concern over the implications of such a designation and the possible consequences of U.S. military involvement.
In response, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Nigerian government have rejected Trump’s allegations and designation, describing them as baseless and politically motivated. Separate statements from the Presidency emphasized that Nigeria remains committed to protecting the rights and safety of all religious groups, while also reaffirming the government’s ongoing efforts to combat terrorism and sectarian violence.
This development marks a significant escalation in diplomatic tensions between both nations, as Trump’s declaration introduces a new dimension to Nigeria’s human rights discourse and its international standing. Observers note that if the U.S. proceeds with the threats, it could lead to major geopolitical and security consequences for West Africa’s largest democracy. View, More,
