Donald Trump has repeated a threat of military action in Nigeria sharing a video saying that America will “do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not going to be happy about” if the killings of Christians continues. The U.S. president shared videos on Wednesday repeating messages he has previously posted on Truth Social. The origin of the videos are unclear. Newsweek has contacted the White House in an email sent outside of regular working hours for comment. Nigeria has vehemently denied that Christians in the country are being targeted for their religion, arguing that they are part of the many people falling victim to terrorists plaguing parts of the country. But the Trump administration has not accepted this, and last week announced plans to designate Nigeria a “country of particular concern.” President Donald Trump speaks to the America Business Forum Miami, at the Kaseya Center, Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, in Miami. The President on Wednesday posted a video, largely repeating a Truth Social post he made on November 1, saying: “If the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid an assistance to Nigeria – we’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not going to be happy about – 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, horrible atrocities.” “I’m hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians.” “These are cherished people, these are great people – leave them alone. Warning: The Nigerian government better move fast before it’s too late. If they don’t there’s going to be hell to pay. “ It comes Daniel Bwala, an advisor to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, said it would “welcome American support” fighting terrorism as long as it respected its national sovereignty.
