Trump says US has ended Christian genocide in Nigeria

President Donald Trump has stated that the U.S. military has halted the killings of Christians in Nigeria.

He made the statement on Friday during an event in Washington, where he discussed his administration’s security operations and anti‑terrorism initiatives in various regions.

Trump said that U.S. intervention in Nigeria played a key role in stopping attacks that were allegedly aimed at Christian communities, especially in areas plagued by insurgency and violent extremism.

“As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations,” he said.

He described the situation in Nigeria before the strikes as severe, noting that many innocent people had been killed in brutal attacks.

“They have a great Christian population. They were being butchered… butchered. Thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hacked to death,” he added.
