US President Trump says he has asked the Pentagon to plan military action in Nigeria - DW News [View all]
Donald Trump says he has ordered the US Ministry of War to prepare for potential military action in Nigeria.
The US president says it's because Nigeria's government is failing to stop what he calls the persecution of Christians in the West African country.
In a social media post, Trump announced that the US is immediately stopping all aid and assistance to Nigeria. He went on to say he was instructing the military to prepare for possible action.
Nigeria has denied the allegations.
