The Trump administration killed Venezuelan gang leader El Niño Guerrero during an airstrike conducted by the U.S. military in southeastern Venezuela. The strike exemplifies a new approach in how the U.S. fights foreign criminal groups, and could also be linked to efforts to pave the way for foreign investment in Venezuela's mining sector. Tren de Aragua is a minor player in the global cocaine industry, involved in drug shipments leaving Venezuela, so analysts don’t expect the killing to drastically change the flow of drugs to the U.S.
