The Venezuela government accused the United States of creating with artificial intelligence the video published on Tuesday by the president of the North American country, Donald Trump, with images of the announced attack against a boat that, according to Washington, moved drugs and had left the South American nation.
Through Telegram, the head of Venezuelan Communication, Freddy Ñáñez, said that “it seems” that the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, “continues to lying to its president” and, “after putting it in a dead end, now gives it as ‘test’ a video with AI.”
“Enough Frame Blonde of encouraging war and trying to stain President Donald Trump. Venezuela is not a threat,” added the minister, who shared the video published by the US president in his Telegram channel.
This Tuesday, Trump published in his social truth account a video of the southern command of the US army where a boat is observed being monitored seconds before being eliminated with a missile.
The American president said that the armed forces of his country eliminated 11 members of the transnational criminal gang of Venezuelan origin of Aragua – organization that was designated as a terrorist by his administration – during a “kinetic attack” against a vessel that moved drugs in the Atlantic.

An hour before confirming the death of the supposed drug traffickers, the Pentagon had indicated to Efe that the attack was carried out in southern the Caribbean against a drug vessel that had left Venezuela and that it was being operated by narcoterroristas, and the same information was published in the official account of the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
The United States has deployed eight military ships with missiles and a nuclear propulsion submarine in Caribbean Sea areas close to the coast of Venezuela to, he said, fight drug trafficking that “pollute” the streets of the American country.
The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, warned Monday that his country faces what he considers the “greatest threat that has been seen” in America “in the last hundred years”, and said that his nation would declare “in arms” if “it were attacked.”
