YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump says the US has launched several strikes against Islamic State forces in Nigeria. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had ordered deadly attacks in Northwest Nigeria's Sokoto State against ISIS terrorists, who he accuses of persecuting Christians. The US government published pictures of a missile being launched from a military vessel, supposedly showing one of the strikes. Trump had been threatening military action in Nigeria over what he's called the 'slaughtering' of innocent Christians. Nigeria's government says armed groups target both Christians and Muslims in the country.
