According to a report by VANGUARD News, U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed deep concern over the growing attacks and persecution faced by Christians in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
His statement forms part of a broader pledge to defend Christian communities globally, urging swift international action to curb the rising wave of religious violence.
Speaking at a recent press conference, Trump condemned the alarming incidents of killings and church attacks in Nigeria, describing them as unacceptable and calling for global attention to protect Christians and other persecuted believers.
“We cannot stand idly by while our brothers and sisters in faith are being attacked and oppressed. America will always stand with those who are persecuted for their beliefs,” Trump stated.
His remarks reflect a central theme of his foreign policy the defense of religious minorities and the protection of faith-based communities worldwide.
Reports from Nigeria show that violence against Christians has increased, with extremists targeting churches and communities, sparking fear among worshippers and doubts over the government’s ability to ensure security.
Trump urged world leaders to unite in safeguarding religious freedoms and take concrete steps against those who violate them.
His comments received strong support from many Christian groups, who saw his message as a much-needed call for global action.
However, some critics cautioned that focusing mainly on Christians could risk overlooking broader patterns of violence affecting other groups.
They called for an inclusive approach that promotes religious freedom and security for all faiths.
