CWN Editor's Note: US President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria to protect Christians from persecution.
Trump gave that order after designating Nigeria as a country of particular concern because of “severe violations of religious freedom.” He faulted the country’s government for failure to protect Christians against Islamic terrorists.
A spokesman for the Nigerian regime told Reuters that the government would “welcome US assistance as long as it recognizes our territorial integrity.”
