President Trump has previously accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from jihadists.

Nigeria confirmed it shared intelligence with the U.S. ahead of Christmas night airstrikes against ISIS targets accused of killing Christians.

“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 in a post on Truth Social.

Trump said the United States launched Christmas night airstrikes in Nigeria targeting ISIS militants he accused of killing Christians in recent attacks.

After months of warning that the US could take military action to stop violence against Christians in Nigeria, President Donald Trump announced on Christmas Day that he had done just that – delivering a strike on Islamic State terrorists in the country’s northwest.

The US launched strikes in northwestern Nigeria overnight - in cooperation with Abuja. Donald Trump claimed to hit "ISIS terrorist scum", but a Nigerian presidential adviser has told Sky News that details of who was targeted are "sketchy".

By publicly cooperating with the United States ‌on ​Christmas Day airstrikes, Nigeria's government may have ‌averted humiliating unilateral military action threatened a month ago by President Donald Trump.
