United States Congressman, Riley Moore, has stated that President Donald Trump is determined to put an end to àathe killing of Christians in Nigeria.
Moore in a statement on Friday via his official X handle welcomed recent airstrikes in North West Nigeria as an important step to protect Christian communities and address the country’s ongoing security crisis.
According to the lawmaker, the strike represents the first step in addressing what he described as the ongoing slaughter of Christians and the broader security crisis affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic lines.
“President Trump has been clear that the killing of Christians in Nigeria must end,” he said.
He said that the administration’s resolve on the matter should not be underestimated.
“As I stated at the outset: Do not test President Trump‘s resolved in this matter.
“Tonight’s strike in coordination with the Nigerian government is just the first step to ending the slaughter of Christians and the security crisis affecting all Nigerians,” he said.
He stressed that the operation signals a stronger stance by the United States in support of Nigeria’s efforts to tackle terrorism and violent extremism, noting that further measures could be taken if the situation does not improve.
