US President Donald Trump has threatened possible military action in Nigeria, citing alleged killings of Christians. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump did not rule out deploying American troops or air strikes in Nigeria. His remarks follow a Truth Social post claiming Christians face an "existential threat from radical Islamists" in Nigeria.
