Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that the leader of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua, known as Niño Guerrero, was killed in a military operation conducted by US forces. The announcement was made via Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social. Details surrounding the operation, including its location and specific circumstances, remain unconfirmed by the Pentagon or other official sources. Tren de Aragua is a notorious gang with a significant presence in Venezuela and increasingly in neighboring countries, involved in activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, and human trafficking. The group has been linked to a surge in criminal activity and violence across South America. This alleged operation marks a potentially significant development in efforts to disrupt the gang’s operations, though independent verification is pending. No further information has been released at this time regarding the specifics of the US involvement.
