President Donald Trump said he has instructed the Pentagon to prepare for possible action in Nigeria, saying the U.S. could go in "guns-a-blazing" and halt aid if the government there "continues to allow the killing of Christians." "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," the president said in a post on his social media platform. After Trump's first post, Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu pushed back, writing "The characterisation of Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect our national reality, nor does it take into consideration the consistent and sincere efforts of the government to safeguard freedom of religion and beliefs for all Nigerians."
