Trump Accused of Sharing Bogus Video of Deadly Drug Boat Strike | A Venezuelan official said the video the president gloated about was “generated by AI.”


A Venezuelan official said the video the president gloated about was “generated by AI.”

Freddy Nanez, Venezuela’s communications minister, suggested that the clip Trump posted on Truth Social, which is believed to show the moment that 11 people were killed during a strike in international waters, was fake and looked “cartoonish.” Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. military had hit the boat at a White House briefing that was the president’s first official public appearance in a week amid speculation about the 79-year-old’s health. While not addressing the AI claims specifically, John Feeley, a former U.S. ambassador to Panama who worked in anti-drug operations in Latin America, said the video shared by the Trump administration does not align with standard Coast Guard protocol for stopping boats believed to be carrying narcotics.
