Trump Did Not Apologize to Tinubu Over Terrorism Claims
A viral post on X claimed that United States President Donald Trump apologized to Bola Tinubu regarding accusations about Nigeria's handling of terrorism. This post, shared on October 7, 2026, by the account @OluremiTinubu, included a screenshot of a supposed news broadcast.
However, a fact-check revealed the claim to be false. The screenshot was traced back to a video from World Source News on August 31, 2026, where Trump discussed the Strait of Hormuz without mentioning Tinubu.
Further investigation found that the X account @OluremiTinubu is not associated with Nigerian First Lady Senator Remi Tinubu, whose verified account is @SenRemiTinubu. No Nigerian or international news outlet reported any apology from Trump to Tinubu.
The investigation concluded that the image was altered, and there is no credible evidence of such an apology.
