Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized the Nigerian government, accusing it of failing to take decisive action to end ongoing killings across the country.
Trump alleged that Christian communities are among those most affected and said the situation has been allowed to persist for too long.
He expressed frustration over what he described as the governmentโs โinactionโ and warned that the United States could reconsider or withdraw certain financial assistance if there is no visible improvement in security and protection of vulnerable groups.
According to Trump, Nigeria must demonstrate stronger political will, intensify security operations, and ensure accountability for those behind the violence.
He emphasized that continued support from the U.S. would depend on Nigeriaโs efforts to restore peace and protect all citizens.
The comments have stirred reactions, with supporters of Trumpโs position calling for international pressure on Nigeria to address insecurity, while critics argue that the issue is complex and requires collaborative solutions rather than external threats.
