US Congress to Probe Trump's Redesignation of Nigeria as CPC Over Religious Persecution

The US Congress will conduct a public hearing on Trump's decision to redesignate Nigeria as a CPC over religious persecution concerns. The hearing will feature US officials, including Jonathan Pratt and Jacob McGee, along with religious leaders like Bishop Wilfr Anagb.

Trump's move reignited global debates on religious freedom violations in Nigeria, prompting calls for US intervention. Nigerian officials, including Bola Tinubu, deny religious persecution claims.

The hearing aims to evaluate Nigeria's religious climate and potential US responses.
