Trump’s Military Action in Nigeria: Stay out of America’s foreign policy – US Lawmaker warns China
US Congressman Riley Moore has criticised China for opposing President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria, declaring that Beijing has no authority to dictate America’s foreign policy.
Moore’s remarks came after Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning condemned Trump’s warning, saying that “as Nigeria’s comprehensive strategic partner, China firmly opposes any country using religion and human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, and threatening other countries with sanctions and force.”
Reacting in a post on X, Moore dismissed China’s position, describing the country as a “Communist autocracy” with no moral standing to lecture the United States.
“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,” Moore said.
“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.”
The US-China standoff reflects the deepening rivalry between both powers, with tensions often fuelled by competing global interests.
While China emphasises “mutual respect and non-interference” as core principles of its foreign policy, Washington continues to assert that every decision must serve its core national interests — safety, strength, and prosperity.
Meanwhile, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the European Union (EU) have both reaffirmed their support for Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, urging global cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
