President Trump Announces Deadly Christmas Day Strikes Against “ISIS Terrorist Scum” in Nigeria Who Are Killing Christians
President Trump on Thursday announced the US launched deadly strikes against “ISIS terrorist scum” in Nigeria.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump said on Truth Social.
“I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper,” Trump said.
“May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues,” Trump added.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The deadly strikes come after President Trump warned last month that the US would intervene to stop the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria.
President Trump recently told the Department of War to prepare for military action.
Earlier this week it was reported that the US was conducting surveillance flights over Nigeria.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth thanked the Nigerian government for their support and cooperation.
“Merry Christmas!” Hegseth said.
The President was clear last month: the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) must end.
The @DeptofWar is always ready, so ISIS found out tonight — on Christmas. More to come…
Grateful for Nigerian government support & cooperation.
Merry Christmas! https://t.co/k5Q3Qd4ClE
