US Lawmaker Condemns China for Controversial Remarks About Nigeria
A member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Riley Moore, has faulted China’s reaction to U.S. President Donald Trump’s warning of potential military action in Nigeria, describing it as unwarranted interference in America’s foreign policy.
Moore’s remarks followed China’s condemnation of Trump’s statement, which the former president had framed as an effort to protect Christians facing persecution in Nigeria.
China criticism of Trump’s remark
China’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, had earlier emphasized that Beijing, as Nigeria’s strategic partner, opposed any nation using religion or human rights as justification for meddling in other countries’ domestic affairs or threatening them with sanctions and force.
In reaction, Moore dismissed China’s stance, describing it as an attempt by a communist regime to influence U.S. decisions and asserting that Washington’s policies would not be shaped by Beijing’s opinions.
He said …
“President Trump is absolutely right to defend our brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering horrific persecution, and even martyrdom, for their faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. China will not dictate our foreign policy to us, and we will not be lectured to by a Communist autocracy that recently arrested 30 Christian pastors for their faith and throws ethnic minorities in concentration camps.”
Rising Diplomatic Tensions Between Washington and Beijing
The exchange marks another flashpoint in the escalating tensions between the United States and China, reflecting their competing visions for global leadership.
Under President Xi Jinping, China has strengthened its influence across Africa through trade and investment, promoting principles of non-interference, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence.
The United States, however, has seen its influence on the continent wane in recent years, hindered by aid reductions, tariffs, and domestic political challenges.
U.S. officials continue to maintain that every aspect of American foreign policy must advance national interests and ensure the country’s security, prosperity, and strength.
Meanwhile, ECOWAS and the European Union have reaffirmed their commitment to Nigeria’s sovereignty and stability, calling on the international community to support regional efforts against terrorism and insecurity.

Teanna Trump Sets the Record Straight on Relationship with Nicolas Pépé
Teanna Trump has pushed back against claims that she is with Nicolas Pépé for his wealth, offering a candid defence of her commitment to the former Arsenal winger. Speaking openly about their relationship, she emphasized that financial gain has never been her motivation.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
She revealed that during their first year of dating, she paid for her own flights every two weeks just to make sure Pépé never questioned her intentions. For her, it was important that the Ivorian international understood she came into the relationship as an equal, not someone looking for benefits. “I have my own money,” she insisted, adding that she sees herself as a woman who stands firmly on her own feet.
Trump went further, sharing how she surprised Pépé on his 30th birthday by flying him out on a luxury getaway he knew nothing about. She planned the celebration entirely on her own, setting a thirty thousand dollar budget to mark the milestone. It was, she said, a way of showing appreciation and proving that she is as invested in him as he is in her.
