President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to prepare for potential military intervention in Nigeria, warning that the U.S. may take swift steps if the Nigerian government fails to address ongoing violence against Christians. The directive, reported by Fox News national correspondent Rebekah Castor, underscores growing concerns about the security situation in the West African nation, where sectarian violence has intensified in recent months.
The administration’s stance reflects a broader strategy to protect American interests and values abroad, with Trump emphasizing the necessity of decisive action to prevent further atrocities. The move has drawn attention to the complex geopolitical dynamics at play, as Nigeria continues to grapple with internal conflicts that have left a significant humanitarian toll.
