In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump warned theNigerian government to act fast to end the “killing of Christians” in thecountry. The United States president also said he would order animmediate end to all aid and assistance to Nigeria. “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killingof Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance toNigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country,“guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who arecommitting these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department ofWar to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, andsweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING:THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump said.
