United States President Donald Trump has again expressed strong outrage over the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. He reaffirmed his earlier warnings and insisted that the Nigerian government must act quickly to stop the killings. Trump spoke during a conservative radio appearance on Friday and restated his long-standing position on the issue.
He said he felt “really angry” about the continued violence against Christian communities in Nigeria. Moreover, he accused Islamist extremists of killing thousands of Christians across different regions. Trump argued that the Nigerian government has failed to protect vulnerable citizens. He stressed that the situation now demands tougher action from the United States.
Trump also reminded listeners that he previously designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern.” He said the designation followed several reports of violent attacks on Christian communities. Additionally, he warned that his administration might stop all aid to Nigeria if the government fails to respond effectively.
During the interview, Trump hinted at possible military steps if the Nigerian government “does not do more.” He claimed that American support cannot continue while Christian communities suffer repeated attacks. Trump sstated that the killings represent a “disgrace” and insisted that America will not ignore the situation.
He added that he is reviewing options that could pressure Nigeria to stop the violence. Although he avoided giving specific timelines, he maintained that “strong action” remains possible. He said the United States will continue monitoring the situation closely.
However, Nigerian officials have repeatedly denied claims of a targeted Christian genocide. They argue that both Christians and Muslims experience attacks from extremist groups. They also stress that the government continues to confront terrorism across several regions.
Even so, Trump’s renewed comments have intensified global attention on Nigeria’s security challenges. Many observers believe his remarks may influence international responses in the coming months. Furthermore, analysts warn that rising tensions could complicate diplomatic relations between both countries.
