Fox News Report Prompted Trump’s Military Threat Against Nigeria, Sources Say
WASHINGTON – Former US President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria was reportedly sparked by a Fox News segment he watched aboard Air Force One, according to White House sources.
Sources told CNN that Trump was “immediately” angered by a report on the alleged targeting of Christians in Nigeria. Within an hour of landing, he began posting on Truth Social, designating Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” and setting in motion a chain of events that led to the Pentagon being directed to prepare for possible action.
The report reveals the decision-making process behind the threat, with one source describing it as an “‘Art of the Deal’-type strategy” to gauge Nigeria’s response. The directive reportedly surprised military personnel at US Africa Command, who were abruptly recalled to headquarters to discuss potential courses of action.
