Original review summary

The review says the video of Celso Amorim embracing Nicolás Maduro was manipulated with AI, pointing to distorted details such as Amorim’s beard appearing to sink into Maduro’s shoulder. It says the source footage came from a March 2023 meeting, where they greeted each other less affectionately than the manipulated video depicts.[S1]

Additional context

The review says Amorim visited Venezuela on July 26, 2024, to observe the presidential election process scheduled for two days later. [S1]
