# President Donald Trump has said a swift US military strike has killed the leader of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang. The gang’s leader, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, was charged in a New York federal court in December with racketeering conspiracy and other crimes, including lending support to terrorists in crimes that stretched more than a decade. US attorney Jay Clayton said at the time that the gang is responsible for countless acts of violence, extortion and drug trafficking in North America, South America and Europe. Venezuelan authorities have not yet commented on the operation.
