US EditionTrump’s warning to Nigeria offers hope to nation's persecuted Christians
Trump accused Nigeria of failing to protect Christians amid Islamist militant violence, citing 3,100 Christian deaths last year as he orders US military readiness for intervention.
- Early this month, U.S. President Donald Trump directed the American military to prepare for intervention in Nigeria over Islamist militant groups, citing inadequate protection of Christians.
- Amid repeated assaults in Plateau State and beyond, Open Doors' data show 3,100 of the 4,476 Christians murdered worldwide in the past year occurred in Nigeria, according to the World Watchlist 2025.
- Some Nigerian clergy welcomed the pressure but do not want U.S. troops sent; Pastor Fred and a leading bishop in Plateau State expressed relief that outside attention may pressure Abuja.
- The administration designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern recently and warned of possible aid cuts and sanctions, while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said earlier this month the Department of War is preparing for action.
- Experts warn that unless root causes like porous borders from Muhammad Gaddafi's fall, out-of-school children, and corruption in Nigerian government and military are tackled, U.S.-Nigeria cooperation on intelligence sharing and counter-terrorism training remains vital.
