Commending President Trump for Redesignating Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern due to Nigeria's engagement in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom, and for other purposes.
This is a procedural resolution (HRES 860), not a bill with legislative effect. It expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for former President Trump's 2020 decision to redesignate Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC) under religious freedom laws. The resolution commends this action due to documented religious persecution in Nigeria, including violence against Christians and minority religious groups. It does not create new policy or alter U.S. assistance; it solely states congressional support for holding Nigeria accountable for religious freedom violations.
