Trump says there could be more US strikes in Nigeria

President Donald Trump said there could be more strikes by the U.S. in Nigeria if Christians are killed in the African nation.
Trump's comments in an interview with the New York Times were published on the newspaper's website on Thursday.

Trump made the remarks when asked about Washington's Christmas Day military strike in Nigeria. The U.S. military said at the time it carried out a strike against Islamic State militants in northwest Nigeria at the request of Nigeria's government.

Nigeria said then that the strike was a "joint operation" targeting "terrorists," and had "nothing to do with a particular religion."
"I'd love to make it a one-time strike ... But if they continue to kill Christians, it will be a many-time strike," Trump was quoted as saying.
