Trump and the elimination of the Tren de Aragua leader: real operation or propaganda?
In recent hours, claims have gone viral that President Donald Trump ordered an operation to take out 'Niño Guerrero', the top leader of Tren de Aragua, Venezuela's dangerous incivil gang. According to the story circulating in certain circles, the action would have been carried out on Venezuelan or Colombian soil, with no official confirmation from either the White House or Nicolás Maduro's government.
The news has triggered a flood of reactions among Trump supporters, who see this alleged operation as proof of the president's determination in the fight against transnational crime. Some sectors are even calling for Trump to extend his term in order to continue this 'clean-up'. However, diplomatic sources and security experts warn that there is no solid evidence of the operation, and point out that Tren de Aragua operates with impunity in several Latin American countries.
The echo of the story reveals just how deeply the myth of the 'Yankee master' who acts without hesitation resonates with part of the public. But, as often happens in these cases, the lack of official evidence leaves the story in the realm of political belief.
