Trump Denies Knowledge of North Korea SEAL Mission | JQJO

President Trump denied knowledge of a New York Times report detailing a 2019 classified SEAL Team 6 mission in North Korea. The report alleges that unarmed North Korean civilians were killed during an aborted operation to intercept Kim Jong-un's communications, approved by Trump. The Pentagon and U.S. Special Operations Command declined comment. The Times' account, citing anonymous sources, claims the SEALs opened fire on a North Korean boat believing it to be a threat, later discovering the crew were unarmed civilians. Congress was reportedly not informed.
