'Not just rain, it’s India': Video of Trump blaming New Delhi for Pakistan floods turns out to be AI generated

As the Punjab region in both India and Pakistan is inundated with water due to persistent rain, there is a video of US President Donald Trump blaming India for the floods. Trump can be seen sitting in his office, addressing reporters, where he says, ‘it's not just climate, it’s not just rain, but it’s India.’ The video is revealed to be AI-generated, and PIB has confirmed this.

In the altered video, Trump can be seen saying, “Let me tell you the truth, and nobody tells the truth like I do. The horrible floods in Pakistan, the destruction, the tragedy, it’s not just climate, it’s not just rain, but it’s India. Believe me, India opened their dams in Kashmir, very unfair, very dangerous. They opened the gate and millions of tons of water came gushing into Pakistan through Ravi, through Chenab, through Sutlej.”

PIB cautioned users about the AI-generated video, “Beware of such AI-generated videos shared with the intent to cause confusion & panic. In case you come across any such videos.”

It was later revealed that the US president was talking about something very different. In the original video, Trump was heard talking about the Iran-Israel ceasefire. He had announced, “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!”

It is one of the conflicts in the world that Trump takes credit for. He had announced a ceasefire between the two countries, but Iran says it was an informal as there is no agreement.
