Trump: Second-Highest ISIS Leader Killed in US-Nigerian Operation

President Trump has once again demonstrated America's resolve in combating global terrorism. The successful operation against Abu-Bilal al-Minuqi, the second-highest leader of the Islamic State, underscores the effectiveness of our counter-terrorism efforts. This strike, carried out in coordination with our Nigerian partners, sends a clear message to terrorist organizations worldwide: there is no safe haven.

While the full details of the operation are still emerging, the elimination of such a high-ranking figure is a significant blow to ISIS's ability to plan and execute attacks. This action is a testament to the bravery and dedication of our military and intelligence personnel who work tirelessly to protect our nation and our allies from the scourge of radical extremism.

This success, following closely on the heels of other counter-terrorism victories, reinforces our commitment to degrading and destroying terrorist networks. We will continue to hunt down terrorists wherever they may be, ensuring the safety and security of the American people and our global partners.
