President Donald Trump of the United States of America said Thursday he\u2019d ordered a deadly strike on Islamic State terrorists in Nigeria, who he has accused of persecuting Christians in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight, 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!\u201d the president\u00a0wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d he went on. \u201cThe Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. 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,\u201d the president concluded.<\/p>\n

CNN said it has reached out to the White House for additional comment.<\/p>\n

Trump has focused for the last several months on the plight of Christians in Nigeria, including calling in November on his secretary of defence to \u201cprepare for possible action\u201d and warning the US would enter Nigeria \u201cguns-a-blazing\u201d to protect the Christian population of Africa\u2019s most populous country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
