US Lawmaker Raises Concerns Over Attacks on Christians in Nigeria
A US congresswoman has expressed alarm over the escalating violence against Christians in Nigeria, labeling the country as one of the deadliest for Christians. She criticized the Biden administration for its foreign policy towards Nigeria, contrasting it with the approach taken by former President Trump, who she credited with prioritizing religious freedom.
The congresswoman's comments came amidst discussions in Washington following Trump's announcement to reinstate Nigeria on the Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) list due to alleged attacks on Christians. Despite Trump's suggestion of potential military action, Congressman Bill Huizenga downplayed this likelihood, advocating for diplomatic solutions and targeted sanctions instead.
