US President Donald Trump says that he has asked the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”

The US government will also immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, Trump says in a post on Truth Social.

Trump says the US may “very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”
