United States President Donald Trump has warned that the US could launch additional military strikes in Nigeria if attacks on Christians continue.
Naija News reports that he revealed this in an interview with New York Times.
His comments follows a US military operation on Christmas Day targeting Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria, reportedly conducted at the request of the Nigerian government.
Trump indicated that while he hopes the strike would be a one-time action, further operations could follow if violence against Christians persists.
“I’d love to make it a one-time strike,” Trump said. “But if they continue to kill Christians, it will be a many-time strike.”
He also acknowledged that Muslims have been victims of attacks but maintained that Christians are the primary targets.
“I think that Muslims are being killed also in Nigeria,” he said. “But it’s mostly Christians.”
This follows Trump’s repeated statements over recent months, in which he described the situation of Christians in Nigeria as urgent and suggested that the US could intervene militarily if the Nigerian authorities fail to protect them.

Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
