Thirty-one members of the United States Congress have expressed support for President Donald Trump’s decision to classify Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” citing what they described as widespread persecution of Christians in the country.

The lawmakers hailed the move as “a sign of hope for millions of persecuted Christians,” urging the U.S. government to impose stronger sanctions and take decisive action against those responsible for religious vi%lence in Nigeria.

In a joint statement, the lawmakers said continued reports of killings, abductions, and destruction of churches showed that the Nigerian government had failed to protect its Christian population.

They urged Washington to take a firm diplomatic and economic stance to hold Nigerian officials accountable while ensuring justice for victims of sectarian attacks.

The development comes amid growing international tension following Trump’s recent threat to deploy U.S. military forces to Nigeria to “defend Christians from extremist attacks.”
