Last Tuesday, US President Donald Trump told the media that US military personnel deployed in the Caribbean fired on a boat from Venezuela. The vessel was allegedly carrying eleven people and drugs. These statements were made "without offering further details about an alleged military operation in the Caribbean, where the US Navy has positioned several warships," reported Página|12.

"We literally destroyed a ship, a ship that was carrying drugs, a lot of drugs. And you'll see and read about it. It happened just moments ago ," Trump told reporters at the White House, adding: "We have a large amount of drugs coming into our country for a long time, and they're coming out of Venezuela. They're coming out of Venezuela in large quantities. A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela, so we took it out," Trump said, referring to the ship.

Trump 's personal account on the Truth Social platform posted images showing that the "boat" wasn't a boat, but rather a small motorboat similar to those used by fishermen in the Caribbean.

But things would not end there, since the Minister of Communication and Information of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Freddy Ñáñez , used his Telegram channel to denounce that: “It seems that Marco Rubio continues to lie to his president (Donald Trump): after putting him in a dead end, now he gives him as 'proof' a video with AI (thus proven)” , wrote the minister.

“To support his claim, (Minister Ñáñez) attached a technical analysis of the video in question, in which the artificial intelligence platform Gemini conjectured that it is 'very likely' that the video was generated by an artificial intelligence system ,” TeleSUR reported.

Without a doubt, we are once again facing another media operation to try to justify an attack against Venezuela before the world public and, fundamentally, to make the American people believe that they must bear the enormous costs and expenses of the Yankee imperialist war machine. Because maintaining eight missile-equipped warships and a nuclear-powered submarine deployed near the Venezuelan coast is costly for the American people.

President Nicolás Maduro 's response was swift. Maduro had already warned that Venezuela faces the "greatest threat ever seen" in the Americas "in the last hundred years," asserting that the Homeland of Bolívar would declare "arms" if "attacked."

Hours after Trump 's lying statements and the release of the ridiculous video fabricated with AI, Maduro denounced a plot by Yankee imperialism against Venezuela and assured that there would be peace in the country, despite threats from Washington seeking to seize the country's natural resources and destroy the Bolivarian social project. "The U.S. is coming for the oil," Maduro exclaimed in a message televised nationwide, adding: "That oil does not belong to Maduro, much less to the Americans; it belongs to the people of Venezuela."
