President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to send US forces into Nigeria with 'guns-a-blazing' if Africa's most populous country does not stem what he described as the killing of Christians by Islamists.
'If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,' he said on Truth Social.
'I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet.'
