President Donald Trump’s recent public statements and policy moves have prioritized religious-freedom framing that emphasizes violence against Christian communities, and his administration (and allied U.S. actors) have re-designated Nigeria under U.S. religious-freedom laws that target “severe violations” — a political decision that foregrounds Christian victims even though analysts and commentators all accept that the violence is more complex and victims do extend beyond Christians. 

Donald Trump has simply indicated the particular ‘previously un-sufficiently acknowledged and un-addressed’ element that fits into his communication paradigm however, the eradication of terrorists and terrorism from Nigeria will make Nigeria safer for all – Christians and non-Christians.
