JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump said Nigeria would face various attacks if ISIS (a terrorist group banned in Russia) continued to kill Christians in the country.
"If they continue to kill Christians, there will probably be many more attacks," Trump told The New York Times, quoted by Antara, Friday, November 9.
Trump said he wanted the attack to be carried out only once.
On December 25, Trump announced that Washington had carried out a "deadly strike" against ISIS in northwestern Nigeria. The attack was carried out at the request of Nigeria, said the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM).
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth further warned that additional actions would be taken in due course.
Nigeria is ranked seventh on the list of countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution, according to the 2025 World Watch List annual report published by Open Doors.
In October, Nigeria's upper house of parliament formed a committee to address global concerns over persecution of Christians in the country.
