US House Moves to Withhold All Aid Over Nigeria’s Ongoing Terrorism Crisis

The US House of Representatives has approved an amendment to suspend 100% of assistance to Nigeria until its government takes decisive action against terrorism and violent attacks. Florida Republican Gregory Steube led the push, arguing that withholding only half of the funds rewards inaction despite rising attacks on Christians and other minorities. He said American taxpayers shouldn’t fund governments that fail basic security and religious-freedom obligations. The amendment still needs to clear the rest of the legislative process before the funding cut can take effect.
