Trump raises concern over Nigeria’s “slaughter” of Christians

President Trump is putting Nigeria on notice for its persecution of Christians. The president says “Christianity is facing an existential threat” in Nigeria and that his administration will designate the West African nation as a “country of particular concern.” That designation does not necessarily mean that sanctions will be imposed, but is one step ahead of that. He writes in a social media post that “radical Islamists” are responsible for the “mass slaughter” of thousands of Christians.
