Overview
- U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz confirmed he and Minaj will deliver remarks in New York on Tuesday about attacks on Nigerian Christians.
- The event was reported to be coordinated by Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, who is also expected to speak.
- Their appearance follows the State Department’s designation of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern,” a step that can trigger non‑humanitarian restrictions.
- President Trump has publicly threatened possible military action if Nigeria fails to protect Christians, a stance the Nigerian government disputes as misrepresenting the conflict.
- Experts and conflict data report that militants have targeted both Christians and Muslims, and widely cited Christian‑specific death tolls remain contested.
