And this is What's News, the top headlines and business stories moving the world today.

President Trump has announced that the U.S.

launched strikes on Islamic State targets in Nigeria on Christmas Day to protect the country's Christian population from the terrorist group.

Posting on social media, Trump wrote that he had warned the group to stop killing Christians, saying, quote, there would be hell to pay and tonight there was.

Trump's post didn't say how many people were killed.

Nigeria's population of 237 million people is roughly split between Muslims and Christians, and the violence against Christians has escalated in northern Nigeria during the past decade.

The Trump administration says Islamist groups are targeting Christians, but the Nigerian government doesn't agree.
