A joint operation between the United States and Venezuela has resulted in the death of the leader of the international criminal organization, Tren de Aragua. Venezuelan authorities confirmed the successful operation, following an initial announcement by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump described the action as a “quick and deadly strike” carried out under his direction, posting the statement on his social media platform, Truth Social. The gang, Tren de Aragua, is known for widespread criminal activities across multiple countries. Details regarding the specific location and circumstances of the operation remain limited. This marks a rare instance of cooperation between the U.S. and Venezuela, countries that have historically experienced strained relations. The operation signals a potential shift in collaborative efforts to combat transnational crime.
