Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military was responsible for the death of a leader of the ‘Tren de Aragua’ criminal gang. Trump stated the operation was conducted in close coordination with Venezuelan authorities. He characterized the action as retribution for crimes committed by the gang leader, known as “Niño Guerrero,” against American citizens. Details regarding the specific circumstances of the operation remain limited. The announcement suggests a heightened level of U.S.-Venezuela cooperation on security matters, despite ongoing political tensions. This marks a significant development in efforts to combat transnational criminal organizations operating in the region. Further information is expected to be released as the situation unfolds.
