Know what Venezuela has a shit-ton of though? Oil. Guess who loves the oil, gas, and coal industries? If your answer involves someone orange you'd be right. Guess who got kicked out of Venezuela when Chavaz took over? If you said large multinational oil corporations you'd be correct.
On top of that donnie gets to look tough against a country that largely has no serious regional allies in fact I believe a lot of them are pissed, China has ties but they aren't going to ratchet up the trade fiasco over Maduro, russia is a bit busy punching itself in the balls and last I check Venezuelans aren't big fans of Maduro so donnie is basically riskless save domestically.
Also given the size of those boats I'd wager a solid amount on the total lost amount would be equivalent to taking out 8 McDonald's store shipments and claiming you've dealt a serious blow to McDonald's bottom line.
The music industry already went through this with AutoTune and we know how that turned out.
they use it, everyone uses it, it got better to the point where most people dont know its used, ever heard of melodyne? well AI made it even better.
And then there has been about 20 years of people using it even as their style of music, notably in hip hop, reggaeton, urbano, country, etc.
Boomers like to think it was just an annoying fad in 2008-2011 or something, but it never went away, now everyone uses it, whether obvious or not
