In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump warned the
Nigerian government to act fast to end the “killing of Christians” in the
country.

The United States president also said he would order an
immediate end to all aid and assistance to Nigeria.

“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing
of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to
Nigeria, and 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. I am hereby instructing our Department of
War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and
sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING:
THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump said.

This is coming a day after Trump redesignated Nigeria as a
‘country of particular concern’ in response to allegations of a Christian
genocide in the country.

He blamed radical Islamists for the “mass slaughter” of
Christians in Nigeria.

Reacting to the development, President Bola Tinubu rejected
Trump’s decision to redesignate Nigeria as a “country of particular concern”
over alleged religious persecution, saying Nigeria remains a democracy anchored
on constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion and beliefh.
