Trump praises Nigeria’s efforts against violence towards Christians

The letter signals a warming of ties between Abuja ‌and ⁠Washington since Trump last November accused the government of failing to protect Christians from extremist violence and threatened to cut aid to Nigeria and take possible ​military action.

President Donald Trump praised Nigerian President Bola Tinubu for his actions against ​violence, according to a letter released by ‌Nigeria's presidency on Wednesday, in contrast to the U.

According to the Nigerian presidency, ​the two countries established a joint security ​working ⁠group last year to expand intelligence sharing, training, and operations against militant groups.
