Genocide: Trump's Support for Nigeria's Persecuted Christians Highlights Commitment to Religious Freedom - Pompeo
Former United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo emphasized President Donald Trump's dedication to religious freedom by supporting Nigeria's persecuted Christians. Pompeo shared this view in a post on his X account on Tuesday night in response to Trump's recent designation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern due to an alleged Christian genocide in the West African nation.
Last weekend, Trump labeled Nigeria a country of particular concern and warned of possible military action against Islamic terrorists accused of targeting Christians. The 79-year-old Republican also threatened to suspend aid to Nigeria if President Bola Tinubu’s government does not succeed in eliminating these terrorists responsible for killing Christians.
“President Trump’s actions in support of Nigeria’s persecuted Christians is a testament to the administration’s deep commitment to religious freedom – an issue that is close to the hearts of millions of Americans.”
— Mike Pompeo
Summary
Pompeo highlights Trump's firm stance on defending religious freedom by addressing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and pressuring the government to act against terrorists.
