Trump Confirms US Military Killed Tren de Aragua Leader in Precision Strike

WASHINGTON, June 13 — President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces have eliminated Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, the notorious Venezuelan gang boss known as “Niño Guerrero”, in a lethal strike targeting the Tren de Aragua criminal network.

Speaking from the White House, Trump said, “The United States military has taken out one of the most violent and ruthless gang leaders in the world. This man was responsible for thousands of murders, kidnappings, and drug deaths across the Americas.”

Pentagon officials confirmed the strike occurred late Thursday night near Maracay, Venezuela, using two F‑15E Strike Eagles and precision‑guided munitions. The operation was coordinated with U.S. Southern Command and intelligence assets tracking Guerrero’s movements for months.

Defense sources told Fox News the mission was authorized after confirmation that Guerrero was directing cross‑border drug shipments and human‑trafficking routes into the United States. The strike reportedly killed seven other senior gang members and destroyed three vehicles and a fortified compound used by the group.

The Tren de Aragua, designated a foreign terrorist organization by Trump last year, has been linked to murders, extortion, and narcotics trafficking across Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Chile, and U.S. cities. The gang’s U.S. operations have led to over 260 arrests and seizures of more than $100,000 in cash, 80 fi****ms, and 18 kilograms of narcotics, according to the Department of Justice.

FBI Director Kash Patel said, “Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re dismantling violent transnational networks that have terrorized communities from Caracas to Chicago. This strike sends a message — no gang leader is beyond our reach.”

Analysts described the operation as the largest U.S. counter‑gang strike in Latin America since 1989, signaling a new phase in Washington’s campaign against narco‑terrorist groups.

The Venezuelan government has not commented, but local media reported explosions near Tocorón Prison, once the gang’s stronghold.

Trump concluded, “America will never tolerate foreign killers poisoning our streets. This was justice — swift, precise, and final.”

Trump Readies Final Order for US Military Strike on Cuba

WASHINGTON, May 27 — The Pentagon has assembled forces capable of launching a U.S. military attack on Cuba, with officials saying the operation awaits only a final order from President Donald Trump, according to POLITICO.

The buildup includes the USS Nimitz carrier strike group, several guided‑missile destroyers and cruisers, and about 2,500 Marines aboard USS Kearsarge amphibious ships. Surveillance drones and reconnaissance aircraft have been circling Cuba for months, marking the largest U.S. naval presence in the Caribbean outside the Middle East.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a Cabinet meeting, “Having a failed state 90 miles from our shores is a threat to the national security of the United States.”

Analyst Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said the Nimitz is “likely there primarily for intimidation, though it could be used in a military operation if needed.” He noted that air strikes could target Cuba’s air defenses or leadership, with Raúl Castro named as a potential first target following his recent U.S. indictment.

Defense officials warned that many warships have been deployed for 10 months, far beyond the usual six‑to‑seven‑month rotation, raising concerns about crew fatigue and maintenance delays. The USS Gerald R. Ford recently completed a record 11‑month deployment, while the Nimitz, nearing the end of its 50‑year career, has had its retirement postponed until 2027.

A senior defense official said, “Keeping them out there so long creates more problems in the long run when it comes to refitting and repairing those ships once they come home.”

The White House referred questions to the Pentagon, which declined to comment. Naval Forces Southern Command also did not respond.

If ordered, the strike would mark the third major international conflict under Trump, following U.S. military actions in Venezuela and Iran.

US Military Drafts Plan to Secure Iran’s Nuclear Materials

WASHINGTON, June 12 — The Pentagon is preparing contingency plans to help secure Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile if a new nuclear deal is reached, senior U.S. officials told CBS News.

The plan would deploy Department of Energy nuclear emergency teams, Special Operations forces, and the Army’s 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives Command to locate and remove Iran’s nuclear materials. U.S. forces could be staged in neighboring Middle Eastern countries to enable rapid entry once an agreement is signed.

A senior administration official said, “Iran’s enriched uranium would be destroyed on site and then taken out of the country. There will be a technical process to figure that out.” Negotiations could take up to 60 days after a memorandum of understanding is signed.

The planning follows months of U.S.–Iran clashes and renewed talks on reviving nuclear restrictions. Analysts warn the mission would be the first joint DOE–Pentagon nuclear security operation inside Iran since 1979, underscoring Washington’s intent to prevent proliferation and stabilize the region.

US Pulls Back Long-Range Military Assets From NATO Europe

WASHINGTON, June 13 — The United States has begun withdrawing key long-range military capabilities from NATO deployments in Europe, cutting fighter jets, surveillance aircraft, refueling tankers, and redeploying warships and bombers.

Pentagon officials confirmed the reduction of 150 F‑16 and F‑15E jets to 100, the drawdown of maritime reconnaissance aircraft from 26 to 15, and the removal of all 8 aerial refueling tankers. One of two Bomber Task Forces will also be reassigned outside Europe, alongside the redeployment of an aircraft carrier, missile-capable submarine, and several warships.

“This change strengthens NATO’s defence plans by reducing over-dependence on one ally,” NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said. US General Alex Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander, added: “We need to focus on things that we can acquire quickly, that we can field quickly, and that we can scale rapidly and sustain over time.”

The move comes as President Donald Trump continues pressing European allies to raise defense spending to 3.5% of GDP, warning against reliance on US protection. Analysts caution the cuts could weaken NATO’s strike and reconnaissance capacity against Russian military activity, forcing Europe and Canada to expand their own long-range and drone capabilities.

European officials expressed concern that the redeployment leaves NATO’s eastern flank more vulnerable, while Washington insists the shift reflects a broader global realignment of US forces toward the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.

Netanyahu Warns Israel May Have to Face Iran Without U.S. Support

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned ministers that Israel could eventually be forced to confront Iran without U.S. backing, citing the possibility of weapons restrictions and growing international isolation amid ongoing tensions over Tehran's nuclear program.

According to reports citing Israeli media, Netanyahu told cabinet members that while Israel does not want such a scenario, it must be prepared for the possibility of acting alone if diplomatic and security conditions deteriorate.

Israeli military chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir also voiced opposition to the emerging framework of a potential nuclear agreement with Iran, reportedly telling ministers that nearly any deal in its current form would be unfavorable to Israel's security interests.

The warnings came as U.S.-Iran tensions escalated following an incident near the Strait of Hormuz in which a U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopter was brought down after being struck by an Iranian drone. U.S. investigators said the drone hit the aircraft but have not determined whether the strike was intentional.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that foreign military forces operating near Iranian territory face risks from accidents, crossfire and miscalculations, while reiterating Tehran's preference for diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed a response to the helicopter incident, raising concerns that already strained relations between Washington and Tehran could deteriorate further and complicate efforts to revive negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

The developments have heightened fears of a broader regional confrontation as Israel, the United States and Iran remain at odds over security, military activity and the future of diplomacy in the Middle East.

UK Prepares Sanctions Against Israel Over Controversial West Bank Housing Expansion

LONDON — The UK and eight allies—including France and Australia—are preparing national sanctions against Israel to block the construction of a major housing development in the West Bank's "E1 zone."

Planning tenders were opened this month for 3,000 homes. Diplomats warn this specific development would physically split the West Bank in two, making a future contiguous Palestinian state impossible.

The move follows intense internal pressure within the UK's ruling Labour Party.

A group of 137 Labour MPs signed a letter to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper demanding "urgent, concrete action," including travel bans on extremist settlers and a total ban on trading goods produced in illegal settlements.

CUBA PLUNGED DEEPER INTO POWER CRISIS AS OUTAGES DRAG ON
HAVANA, Cuba — Millions of Cubans are enduring prolonged blackouts, fuel shortages and growing hardship as the island's state power company struggles to provide even a few hours of electricity each day amid a worsening energy crisis.

Residents across the country report going without electricity for much of the day, leaving homes without fans or refrigeration during sweltering summer temperatures. Fuel stations have remained largely empty for months, while shortages of cooking gas have forced many families to rely on charcoal or firewood.

The crisis has intensified following a U.S.-led squeeze on oil supplies reaching Cuba, sharply reducing fuel imports and worsening strain on the country's aging power grid. Cuba's electricity system, already plagued by years of underinvestment and equipment failures, has suffered repeated nationwide blackouts in recent months.

In some regions, blackouts have stretched to as much as 20 hours a day, disrupting transportation, businesses, schools and healthcare services. The shortages have fueled public frustration and sporadic protests, with many Cubans expressing anger over deteriorating living conditions.

Analysts say both the collapse of Cuba's aging electrical infrastructure and the loss of imported fuel are driving the crisis, which many describe as the island's most severe energy emergency in decades.

US sanctions Cuban president, Castro relatives in latest pressure campaign

WASHINGTON — The United States on Thursday imposed new sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, members of his family, and relatives of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, marking the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s campaign against Cuba’s communist government.

The sanctions target Díaz-Canel, his wife Lis Cuesta Peraza, his stepson, and several figures linked to Cuba’s political and military establishment. Also sanctioned were Alejandro Castro Espín, the son of Raúl Castro, and Raúl Castro’s grandson. The measures extend to Cuba’s Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR) and other state entities.

Under U.S. sanctions, any assets subject to U.S. jurisdiction are frozen and Americans are generally prohibited from conducting transactions with designated individuals and entities.

The move follows a series of actions by President Donald Trump aimed at tightening economic pressure on Havana. In May, Trump signed Executive Order 14404, expanding sanctions against Cuban government officials, security agencies and their supporters, while also threatening penalties against foreign institutions that conduct significant transactions with sanctioned Cuban entities.

According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the latest sanctions are part of Washington’s effort to increase pressure on Cuba’s leadership over human rights concerns and national security issues.

Trump said he wants Cuba to become a “nicely run country,” while Secretary of State Marco Rubio has accused the Cuban government of supporting what he called “radical left-wing terrorism” and warned foreign banks and businesses against dealing with sanctioned entities.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla condemned the measures, calling them “despicable” and accusing Washington of interventionism. He said the sanctions would fail to provoke conflict or destabilize the Cuban government.

The United States has maintained an economic embargo against Cuba since 1962, but Trump has significantly expanded restrictions since returning to office, including new sanctions targeting Cuba’s military-linked business network and access to international financial services. Earlier this week, Cuba announced it would suspend Visa and Mastercard transactions beginning June 6, blaming intensified U.S. sanctions and the withdrawal of foreign financial partners.

Albino Buffalo Named ‘Donald Trump’ Draws Crowds at Bangladesh Zoo

DHAKA, Bangladesh — A rare albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump” has become a major attraction at Bangladesh’s national zoo after its distinctive blond tuft of hair drew comparisons to the hairstyle of U.S. President Donald Trump.

The nearly 700-kilogram buffalo was transferred to the national zoo in Dhaka last week after viral videos on social media attracted large crowds to a farm in Narayanganj, where the animal was being raised. Officials cited security concerns and growing public interest in ordering its relocation.

The animal was originally sold for ritual sacrifice during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. However, Bangladesh's government intervened at the last minute, refunded the buyer, and spared the buffalo from slaughter following its sudden rise to fame.

Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha said the nickname was coined by his younger brother, who noticed the resemblance between the buffalo’s blond fringe and Trump's trademark hairstyle. Albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh, where most livestock are dark-colored, making the animal a standout attraction.

Since arriving at the zoo, visitors have flocked to the enclosure to take photos and videos of the buffalo, which has become one of the country's most talked-about animals. Zoo officials said the animal is being closely cared for amid intense public interest.

The buffalo’s popularity also sparked controversy after a zoo sign identifying it as “Donald Trump” was reportedly removed, and a zoo curator was later dismissed without an official explanation.

American Bystander Killed in Mexico Resort City Shootout

SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO, Mexico — A 31-year-old American man from California was killed after being caught in the crossfire of a shootout involving Mexican military personnel and armed suspects in the resort city of San José del Cabo, authorities said.

The deadly incident unfolded late Saturday into Sunday near the Costa Dorada area, where police responding to reports of an ongoing armed confrontation found soldiers and civilians wounded by gunfire, according to the Baja California Sur State Attorney General’s Office.

Investigators said five civilians traveling in private vehicles were injured during the exchange of gunfire. Among them was the California resident, who later died in a hospital. Four other civilian bystanders were wounded, including a 14-year-old boy who was hospitalized with gunshot injuries. Two soldiers were also injured, one of them critically.

Authorities said the gunmen fled the scene before security forces could apprehend them. Mexican officials recovered fi****ms, tactical equipment, a radio, and tire spikes commonly used to hinder police pursuits.

The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify and locate those responsible for the attack.
