Washington: Donald Trump has suggested that the United States might consider military action in Nigeria in response to attacks on Christians. This statement has raised the possibility of an American intervention aimed at protecting religious communities in the African nation.

According to EMM, Trump’s proposed military intervention comes at a time when his administration’s aid cuts have inadvertently contributed to more casualties among Nigerian Christians than the attacks by Islamic militants. The aid previously provided by the U.S. was estimated to save the lives of over a quarter-million Nigerians annually. By restoring this aid, Trump could potentially save lives without resorting to military measures.

The Pentagon has already prepared plans for a possible attack, showing the seriousness of the discussions within the U.S. administration. However, experts argue that restoring American aid could be a more effective and less costly solution to help the Nigerian Christian community.

Trump’s statements have sparked debate about the most effective way to support vulnerable populations in Nigeria. While military intervention remains a contentious option, many believe that diplomatic and financial support could achieve the desired results without the risks associated with military action.
