The U.S. Department of State on Monday designated Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” following President Donald Trump’s warning that he could deploy military assets to the West African country over the persecution of Christians.
In a notice, the department noted that Trump on Oct. 31 designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” described as a nation that has “systematic, ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom.”
