Genocide: How US Ended Attacks On Christians In Nigeria – Donald Trump

United States President Donald Trump has claimed that recent US military strikes in Nigeria helped save Christian communities from continued attacks by terrorists.

Naija News reports that Trump made the claim during an event in Washington at the weekend, saying the operation targeted leaders of the terrorist group responsible for attacks on Christians.

According to him, the military action significantly reduced the killings and sent a strong warning against further violence.

“As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations,” Trump said.

“They have a great Christian population. They were being butchered. Thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hacked to death.”

Trump said the US operation hit the group hard and discouraged further attacks.

“They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and that they don’t want to really get involved anymore so much,” he said.

“You know, we hit them very hard. We knocked out their leader. We knocked out their second leader and their third leader.”

The US President compared the alleged Nigeria operation with recent American military action against Iran, saying both were aimed at confronting major security threats.

“It sounds a little bit like Iran, actually. It’s all about a different cause that we have to do because we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. Can’t let it happen,” he said.

Trump said his administration remained committed to protecting Christians around the world and targeting terrorist groups wherever they operate.

“So I’m saving Christians throughout the world, even though we are not in those various countries where you read about this,” he said.

Trump said the United States would continue to pursue terrorists with force.

“But I’m saving them by hitting these terrorists very violently and very hard. We’re hitting them very hard by the greatest weapons on earth, taking them out.

“We know where they are. We hunt them down, and we take them out. They go into a village and they just kill everybody, it’s like crazy,” he said.

He also warned against what he described as threats to religious freedom, claiming that extremist and communist forces sought to weaken religion.

“They will close your churches in this country. They go communist, and they’re trying to. They will kill your people, and that’s what they’re about. They want to end religion,” Trump added.
