U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to defending Christians in Nigeria, warning that Christianity faces an existential threat in the country.
In a post shared on his official Facebook account, Trump stated: “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening there, and in numerous other countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian Population around the World!”
The President’s declaration comes amid renewed concerns over religiously motivated attacks in parts of northern and central Nigeria. Over the years, armed groups and extremists have targeted churches, villages, and communities, leading to thousands of deaths and displacements.
Trump’s statement signals a strong U.S. position on global religious freedom and suggests possible diplomatic or military measures to protect Christian populations in high-risk areas. His administration has consistently prioritized the defense of Christian minorities, previously describing Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” due to recurring religious violence.
The remarks have drawn mixed global reactions. Christian organizations praised the President for taking a firm moral stance, calling it a long-overdue commitment to faith-based protection. However, some analysts and African leaders have cautioned against foreign military intervention, urging diplomatic engagement instead. View, More,
