United States (US) President Donald Trump has said US military strikes in Nigeria saved Christians from continued attacks by terrorists, claiming the operation brought an end to the widespread killing of Christian communities.
Speaking at an event in Washington at the weekend, Trump said the military action targeted the leaders of the terrorist group responsible for the attacks and sent a strong warning against further violence.
He said the operation significantly reduced the killings and prevented more civilians from being attacked.
