Former US President Donald Trump stated that recent military actions authorized by his administration in Nigeria were successful in curbing violence against Christian communities. During a speech in Washington, he credited these missile strikes with stopping a wave of killings that had previously devastated the region.
According to Trump, the violence had resulted in the deaths of thousands of individuals, specifically targeting women, children, and the elderly. He characterized the previous situation as a massacre, noting that the military operation succeeded in dismantling the leadership of the responsible terrorist organizations.
The former president explained that by eliminating the top three leaders of these groups, the US sent a message that further aggression would be met with even more severe consequences. He compared this strategy to his stance on Iran, emphasizing that such interventions are necessary to prevent broader security threats. Trump concluded by reaffirming his commitment to using military force to combat extremism and protect Christian populations globally.
