A New York Times report has revealed a previously unknown failed 2019 mission by U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six, ordered by President Trump, aimed at installing surveillance equipment to eavesdrop on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during nuclear talks. The SEALs infiltrated North Korean waters in mini-subs at night, but after encountering a boat with flashlights, they opened fire, killing the occupants—later identified as fishermen—before retreating and aborting the mission.
