flag Trump labels Nigeria a religious persecution hotspot, sparking diplomatic tension.

flag Trump has designated Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" over religious persecution, citing widespread violence against Christians linked to extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP, as well as intercommunal conflict. flag The move, announced on Truth Social, highlights alleged killings, church attacks, and displacement, with Trump claiming an "existential threat" to Christianity and directing Congress to investigate. flag While U.S. officials and faith groups expressed concern, Nigerian authorities dispute the scale of persecution, calling the claims misleading. flag The designation triggers potential diplomatic and policy responses under the International Religious Freedom Act but does not immediately impose sanctions.
