US President, Donald Trump, has accused Nigeria of allegedly spreading misinformation regarding Iran’s response to his ceasefire announcement.
Speaking on social media, Trump linked the “fake news” to CNN, adding that it was “totally made up” while attributing its origin to a Nigerian site.
According to Trump, the Nigerian site is a fake news platform, and CNN has been ordered to withdraw the statement.
“No one can believe that fake news CNN put out a knowingly false and dangerous statement pretending it came from the upper levels of the Iranian government. It didn’t!
“It was totally made up and posted as a headline for the purpose of perhaps inflaming a very delicate situation.
“It was a new troublemaking site from Nigeria and CNN just got caught cheating – A very dangerous thing to do,” part of Trump’s post read.
