US President Donald Trump has issued a warning regarding potential aid cuts to Nigeria and the possibility of military intervention in response to ongoing violence against local Christians. In a statement, Trump emphasized that if the Nigerian government continues to permit the killing of Christians, the United States will immediately cease all aid and assistance to Nigeria.

Trump stated that the U.S. may consider military action, indicating that any intervention would be swift and forceful against Islamic terrorists responsible for these attacks. He instructed the Department of War to prepare for possible action, asserting that if the U.S. were to engage, it would be "fast, vicious, and sweet," mirroring the nature of the attacks on Christians.

Trump"s comments serve as a stark warning to the Nigerian government to take immediate action to address the violence. This announcement follows a series of reports highlighting the ongoing threats faced by Christian communities in Nigeria.
