US says it sank Venezuelan ship: it's AI, Caracas says
While US President Donald Trump claimed responsibility on Tuesday, September 2, for the destruction of a Venezuelan boat with several "narcoterrorists" on board, Nicolás Maduro's regime disputes the images and believes that they are sequences generated by artificial intelligence.
On Tuesday, September 2, US President Donald Trump shared a video on his Truth Social network that appeared to show the destruction, by a US airstrike, of a boat “laden with drugs,” presented as being linked to the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua, reports El Nacional . An operation that took place “in international waters,” according to the Republican, and which instantly killed the eleven “narcoterrorists” present on board, according to information relayed by several media outlets.
According to the White House tenant, this group, which he accuses of "murders, drug trafficking and acts of violence on American soil," operates "under the control of [Venezuelan President] Nicolás Maduro . " "For too long, large quantities of narcotics from Venezuela have been crossing our borders. Many come from there, so we are eliminating them," he added.
On the Venezuelan side, caution is advised. While press reactions are still scarce, some political representatives are disputing the authenticity of the footage broadcast by Donald Trump and US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.
