President Donald Trump announced on social media that the U.S. conducted a strike against ISIS in Nigeria on Christmas night.
"Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was."
"The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing," the post continued. "Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues."
The Christmas night strikes in Nigeria are just the latest in a long series of strikes the Trump administration has conducted. According to reports, the administration has struck 22 alleged drug boats in international waters and killed nearly 100 people. The administration has also bombed Iran's nuclear facilities, although experts questioned the premise for those strikes.
