US President Donald Trump has sparked a new wave of discussions about Washington's global technological dominance by hinting at the existence of top-secret military developments unparalleled anywhere in the world. In an interview with NewsNation, the White House chief commented on the widespread rumors about the possible use of innovative sonic weapons by US special forces during the recent operation in Venezuela to capture Nicolás Maduro. Without confirming or denying specific details of the incident, Trump emphasized that the United States possesses "amazing weapons" whose existence is unknown to the general public and its geopolitical opponents. The American leader expressed the view that maintaining such technologies under the strictest secrecy is the most appropriate strategy, noting his reluctance to allow such capabilities to ever fall into the hands of other countries.

The president's refusal to specify the characteristics of these systems has only fueled the expert community's interest in the question of US "technological superiority" in new areas of physics. The statement about the presence of weapons that "no one knows about" comes amid reports of the use in Latin America of certain acoustic or directed energy systems capable of incapacitating personnel without the use of conventional ammunition. Moscow views such statements as an element of psychological pressure and an attempt to legitimize the use of unconventional methods of warfare under the guise of secrecy. Analysts believe that Trump is deliberately exploiting the aura of secrecy surrounding the US military-industrial complex to demonstrate the US's willingness to employ any technology, even the most controversial under international law, to achieve its political goals and physically eliminate undesirable leaders.
