Condemning the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and standing ready to support President Donald J. Trump in taking decisive action to end the existential threat that persecuted Christians face in Nigeria.

This resolution states the House of Representatives' position on violence against Christians in Nigeria. It condemns killings of Christians by Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province, and Fulani militant groups, and condemns the Nigerian Government's failure to act. It states the House stands ready to support President Trump in taking action, and calls on the U.S. Government to use diplomatic, economic, and security tools to pressure Nigeria to punish attackers, protect Christian communities, return displaced people to their homes, repeal blasphemy laws, and release people jailed for their faith. It also encourages working with other countries to deliver humanitarian aid through nongovernmental and faith-based groups.
