United States President Donald Trump has placed Nigeria on a blacklist, describing it as a “country of particular concern” over what he calls ongoing attacks and killings targeting Christians. The former U.S. president made the announcement on Friday in a post shared on his official Truth Social platform.
According to Mediaplusng.com, Trump’s statement has sparked global attention and debate, especially among international human rights groups and religious freedom advocates. He claimed that reports of violence and persecution against Christians in parts of Nigeria have reached alarming levels, urging the international community to take stronger action to protect vulnerable groups.
While Nigerian authorities are yet to officially respond to Trump’s remarks, some observers believe the move could affect diplomatic relations and international perception of Nigeria’s human rights record.
