Trump: U.S. must respond to attacks on Christians in Nigeria

Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the mass killings of Christians in Nigeria, blaming radical Islamists for what he called “an ongoing genocide.”

“Thousands of Christians are being killed. The United States cannot stand idly by,” Trump said, designating Nigeria a “country of particular concern.”
He directed Congressman Riley Moore and House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole to take immediate action.

According to international media, Boko Haram has killed more than 100,000 Christians and burned 18,000 churches in Nigeria since 2009.
