United States President Donald Trump has reiterated claims that Christians in Nigeria are facing “mass killings,” warning that the alleged attacks constitute an “existential threat to Christianity in the country.”
In a video uploaded by the White House on X on Wednesday, Trump stated that “thousands and thousands” of Christians “were being killed,” blaming “radical Islamists” for what he described as a “mass slaughter.”
He declared: “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands and thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”

In the same clip, Trump announced that he was formally classifying Nigeria as a “country of particular concern,” explaining that the designation was based on a “legal standard.”
He said: “I am hereby making Nigeria a country of particular concern. That’s a legal definition.”
He then cited statistics: “When the Christians or any such group is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria, 3,100 versus 4,476 worldwide.”
Calling for urgent action, Trump said the figures were “horrific” and demanded immediate congressional response.
