United States President, Donald Trump, has said Muslims are also being killed in Nigeria but insisted that Christians are the main targets, as he warned of possible further U.S. military strikes if violence against Christians continues.
Trump made the remarks in an interview on Thursday, while responding to questions about a U.S. military strike carried out on Christmas Day in Nigeria.
At the time, the U.S. military said it conducted the strike against Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria at the request of the Nigerian government.
When asked about comments by his Africa adviser that Islamic State and Boko Haram militants were killing more Muslims than Christians, Trump said he thinks that Muslims are being killed also in Nigeria, but it’s mostly Christians.
He revealed he would love to make it a one-time strike, But if they continue to kill Christians, it will be a many-time strike.
In late October, Trump began warning that Christianity faces an “existential threat” in Nigeria and threatened U.S. military intervention over what he described as the Nigerian government’s failure to protect Christian communities.
