It was so risky that it required the direct approval of President Trump, the publication writes.

The Seal Team Six’s Red Squadron, which worked out the plan, was involved in the task of completing the task. For its implementation used a nuclear submarine and two mini-submarines, which were to deliver the soldiers to the shore.

During the landing on the North Korean coast, special forces encountered a small boat. In the dark, they opened fire, fearing that they were exposed. As it turned out, there were two or three civilian North Koreans who were engaged in the collection of shellfish. They died on the spot.

The report also states that the Trump administration did not inform the key members of Congress.

Trump, speaking to journalists in the Oval Cabinet on Friday, said that he “knows nothing” about the mission of 2019, which was reported by NYT.

“I don’t know anything about it. I could see, but I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said.

Reference: Seal Team Six – a secret US military unit, formed in 1980, worked on a number of secret, dangerous and risky missions, including conducted an operation to eliminate Ben Laden’s elimination in Pakistan in 2011.

Prehistory:

  • In 2017, Trump was threatened with “fire and rage that the world has never seen” if the DPRK did not stop threatening the US with nuclear weapons.
  • In 2018 and 2019, Trump and Kim would hold sums that made declarations of new friendship, as well as fuzzy promises for nuclear disarmament.
