President Trump Warns Nigeria of Possible US Military Action Over Islamist Militants

President Donald Trump, in a CBS News '60 Minutes' interview, offered no new strategies to end the ongoing government shutdown, maintaining a firm stance against Democratic demands and insisting that Democrats must concede, or face the consequences of the shutdown continuing. He also touched on healthcare, calling it expensive and poor quality, promising future reforms without specific plans. Meanwhile, in California, Proposition 50 has become a politically charged issue tied to congressional redistricting, with Democrats pushing the measure to reshape districts in their favor for the 2026 House elections, directly opposing Trump's efforts to maintain Republican control through similar tactics. Trump has also issued a stern warning to Nigeria, threatening U.S. military action if the Nigerian government does not stop attacks on Christians by Islamist militants. Additionally, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright indicated that nuclear tests sought by Trump would likely avoid actual atomic bomb detonations, focusing instead on system tests. These developments underscore Trump’s continued influence on both domestic policy struggles and international security issues in 2025.
