President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. could send troops or conduct airstrikes in Nigeria to stop the killing of Christians.

Donald Trump mentioned that he is considering various options, including sending troops or airstrikes, emphasizing that he will not allow the continuation of these violences. Nigeria responded that it is open to U.S. assistance, but with respect for its sovereignty. Although the violence in Nigeria is often attributed to Islamic insurgents, Nigerian officials claim that there is no Christian genocide, and that most victims are Muslims. Additionally, the conflicts in Nigeria are complex, involving political power, territorial and ethnic disputes. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu emphasized efforts to ensure fair representation of Muslims and Christians in government.
