Trump says US military strike killed leader of Tren de Aragua gang with help from Venezuela
Trump said U.S. forces killed Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores in a strike coordinated with Venezuelan authorities.
- President Donald Trump announced Friday that a U.S. military strike successfully killed Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, the infamous top leader of the transnational Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
- The operation was carried out earlier this week by U.S. Southern Command, targeting a Tren de Aragua compound located in Venezuela's southern Bolívar state with what Trump termed a "swift and lethal kinetic strike."
- The mission marks an unprecedented, close collaboration with Venezuelan security forces, highlighting a drastic shift in relations since former President Nicolás Maduro was removed by the U.S. military in January and replaced by interim leader Delcy Rodríguez.
- Trump shared unclassified, overhead footage of the airstrike on Truth Social, showing a small, green-roofed building exploding into a cloud of smoke, while asserting that the group's "terrorists no longer have safe haven anywhere."
- The targeted killing provides "retribution" for American families, according to Trump, who dedicated the successful military action to the loved ones of victims of high-profile crimes linked to undocumented gang members in the U.S.
