Trump says US military strikes ISIS group in Nigeria

The U.S. military, acting on his orders, has carried out strikes against the Islamic State terrorist group operating in northwestern Nigeria, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote.

Trump described the jihadists as a “vile terrorist underclass” and said they had “for centuries attacked and brutally killed mostly innocent Christians.”

“I had previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop killing Christians, they would pay a heavy price — and that has now happened. The Department of War has delivered numerous perfect strikes, like only the United States can,” Trump wrote.
