Nigeria has stated it would welcome U.S. assistance in combating Islamist insurgents, provided its territorial integrity is respected, in response to President Donald Trump's threats of military action over alleged mistreatment of Christians.

• President Donald Trump threatened swift military action if Nigeria fails to address the killing of Christians.
• Daniel Bwala, an adviser to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, emphasized that Nigeria "does not discriminate against any tribe or religion in the fight against insecurity" and denied claims of a "Christian genocide."
• Only 50 out of 1,923 attacks on civilians in Nigeria this year have targeted Christians because of their religion, according to ACLED research.
