Trump Renews Nigeria Threat, Questions South Africa G20 Role

US President Donald Trump took fresh aim at two of Africa’s biggest economies, renewing his threat of an attack on Islamist militants in Nigeria and questioning South Africa’s role in the Group of 20 days before it hosts a global summit.

In a video posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump reiterated his claim that the Nigerian government is failing to prevent the killing of Christians and said he’s asked the Pentagon to prepare for “possible action” unless the West African nation acts. The comments came as Latin American observers brace for US intervention in Venezuela, with Trump intensifying his saber-rattling toward the regime of President Nicolas Maduro.
