Trump says US used ‘discombobulator’ weapon in Maduro raid: ‘not allowed to talk about it’
He said the device made enemy equipment ‘not work’, and the Venezuelan forces were unable to use their ‘Russian and Chinese rockets’
President Donald Trump said US military forces used a weapon that he referred to as “the discombobulator” during the US operation in Caracas to remove Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro from power earlier this month.
“The discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said in an interview with the New York Post.
He said the weapon made enemy equipment “not work”.
“They never got their rockets off,” Trump said, according to New York Post.
“They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for additional information about the weapon.
