A Fox News report prompted Trump to post about Nigeria, setting off White House scramble
WASHINGTON — A Fox News report prompted President Donald Trump to call out Nigeria over the killing of Christians and then threaten military action, setting off a scramble in the White House over the weekend, according to multiple U.S. officials.
It’s still unclear what — if anything — the administration will do to counter Islamic militants in Nigeria, but precision drone strikes are among the preliminary options being considered, two U.S. officials said.
A White House spokesperson declined Monday to offer any details on the plans under consideration.
“At President Trump’s direction, the administration is planning options for possible action to stop the killing of Christians in Nigeria," the spokeswoman, Anna Kelly, said in a statement. "Any announcements will come from the President directly."
Why Trump is threatening to attack Nigeria to defend Christians
President Donald Trump is toying around with the idea of yet another war. He said Saturday that he has instructed the Pentagon to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria because he claims the West African nation is failing to protect Christians from violence there.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded to the post with “yes sir” and added, “The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately.”
