A photograph is published showing a portrait of Donald Trump, the US president-elect, wearing a hat that has the inscription "KOSOVO" and with the caption claiming that he has declared that: The American people will stand by the state of Kosovo, we will do our utmost to release the KLA leaders as soon as possible.
This content was published today (December 11) on Facebook by a page called "Images from Kosovo".
What is the truth?
Hibrid.info has found that the photo in question is artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content and that the alleged statement did not come from Trump.
Hibrid.info has checked through "HiveModeration.com", a platform for detecting AI-generated content, based on whose evaluation, it can be concluded that the treated photo, is AI-generated content.
Hibrid.info has also researched through the Google search engine for the alleged statement, where no credible source was found confirming it, except for recent statements where he speaks out against Jack Smith, the former specialized prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, who took office in September 2018 to investigate alleged war crimes in Kosovo.
Trump in an interview with Kristen Welker NBC News, published on December 9, stated that "Mad Jack Smith is returning to The Hague where he can 'convict' people."
Analyze:
The photo of Donald Trump wearing a hat with the inscription "Kosovo" is AI-generated.
While the alleged statement that it will make it impossible to quickly release the KLA leaders, who are being tried in The Hague, is false.
