Trump Claims U.S. Strike Eliminated Tren de Aragua Gang Leader with Venezuelan Assistance

Former President Donald Trump stated that a U.S. military operation killed the leader of the Tren de Aragua gang. He said the strike was carried out with support from Venezuelan forces. The claim links a Colombian criminal organization to a cross‑border operation. No official confirmation of the strike has been released. Venezuelan authorities have not commented on involvement. The assertion raises questions about U.S. engagement in the region. Analysts note the potential diplomatic implications of such cooperation. Monitoring will continue to verify the reported outcome.
