"If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,"
"I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!"
"Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so,"
"Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all faiths."
President Trump ordered the Pentagon to prepare plans for possible military action in Nigeria and warned of an immediate halt to all U.S. aid if killings of Christians continue. Trump described potential intervention in stark terms, saying operations could be "guns-a-blazing" and vowing to target Islamic terrorists committing atrocities. He declined to specify whether action would involve ground troops or airstrikes, saying only "Could be" when asked. Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rejected the designation of Nigeria as intolerant, asserted that religious freedom and tolerance remain core national tenets, and cited constitutional guarantees protecting all faiths.
