The United States has designated Nigeria as a “COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN,” following an assertion by President Donald Trump that Christianity is facing an “existential threat” in the West African nation due to the mass killing of Christians.
President Trump announced the designation and his intention to address the situation in a post on X on Friday. His post was quoted as declaring: “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a “COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN” — But that is the least of it.”
He further emphasized the severity of the situation by stating that when Christians, “or any such group, are slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 worldwide), something must be done.”
As a result of this concern, Trump stated he is asking Congressman Riley Moore, along with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, “to immediately look into this matter.”
The US President stressed that the United States “cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria and numerous other countries.”
He concluded his post by adding, “We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World.”
