US President, Donald Trump, has written his Nigerian counterpart, Bola Tinubu, vowing to stand with Nigeria in the fight against terrorism.
He also commended Tinubu’s resolve to tackle issues plaguing Nigeria, especially the violence affecting Christian communities, saying it is an honour to stand with his administration in the fight against terrorists.
Trump’s letter came as his government said jihadist terrorist groups have remained a danger to global peace and security, despite effective campaigns, but vowed to sustain counter-terrorism efforts through diplomacy, financial action and military cooperation with partners, especially in Nigeria, Somalia and Syria, among others.
In the letter dated July 6, 2026, Trump said US–Nigeria relationship had flourished in recent times, with the two sides working closely in key areas, particularly in tackling security challenges afflicting parts of Nigeria.
He applauded Tinubu’s resolve to tackle the problems confronting the country, especially the violence affecting Christian communities.
Trump said it is a true honour to stand with Tinubu in the fight against terrorists and to help make the Federal Republic of Nigeria stronger and more prosperous.
The letter read: “Dear Mr President, Thank you for your thoughtful letter. Your kind words mean a great deal to me, and I appreciate your decisive leadership on behalf of the Nigerian people.
“I applaud your resolve to tackle the issues plaguing your nation, especially the violence affecting Christian communities, and it is a true honour to stand with you in the fight against terrorists and to make the Federal Republic of Nigeria stronger and more prosperous.
“The United States–Nigeria relationship is crucial at a time conflict has spread across West Africa and around the world.
