President Donald Trump of the United States has again issued a stern warning to the Nigerian government, threatening to halt all aid and assistance if the killings of Christians continue.
In a strongly worded statement posted on social media, Trump said, “If the government of Nigeria continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria. We are going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria is not going to be happy about and may well go into that disgraceful country to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”
Trump described the situation in Nigeria as an “existential threat” to Christianity, accusing radical Islamists of being responsible for what he called a “mass slaughter” of Christians.
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ but that is the least of it,” Trump wrote.
He said the scale of killings in Nigeria demanded urgent international intervention, citing what he described as alarming figures.
“When Christians, or any such group, are slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 worldwide), something must be done!” he stated.
Trump disclosed that he had directed members of the U.S. Congress to immediately look into the matter.
“I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter and report back to me,” he said.
He further stressed that Washington would not remain passive while such killings continue.
“The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our great Christian population around the world!”

Recall that Trump had earlier threatened to deploy the U.S. Department of War to Nigeria if what he described as a “Christian genocide” was not halted.
He also declared Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” following reports of killings targeting Christians.
Under U.S. law, the “Country of Particular Concern” designation is an official classification issued by the Secretary of State when a nation is deemed to engage in practices harmful to fundamental human rights or religious freedom, often carrying diplomatic and economic implications.
According to a 2022 publication by the Family Research Council, the designation signals serious concern over human rights violations and could influence U.S. policy toward the affected nation.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has maintained that the country remains a constitutional democracy that protects religious freedom.
In a statement issued on November 1, President Bola Tinubu affirmed that Nigeria “stands firmly as a democracy governed by constitutional guarantees of religious liberty,” highlighting efforts since 2023 to engage both Christian and Muslim leaders in addressing security challenges affecting citizens across all faiths and regions.
Tinubu emphasised that portraying Nigeria as religiously intolerant “does not reflect our national reality,” noting that religious freedom and tolerance “have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so.”
