The U.S. Navy SEALs once secretly infiltrated North Korea to carry out a mission.

The New York Times reported that the U.S. Navy SEALs carried out a special operations mission on the North Korean side in 2019.

At that time, the U.S. SEALs were assigned to install a listening device on the North Korean side that could intercept the communications of the North Korean leader. The Americans planned to accomplish this against the backdrop of nuclear negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.

According to current information, the purpose of the U.S. action was to obtain the content of discussions between the North Korean leader and his generals and nuclear scientists.

The New York Times reported the details of the SEALs' operation: "A team of SEALs landed on a rocky beach on the North Korean side in scuba suits. However, the mission immediately went wrong. A North Korean patrol boat appeared in front of the SEALs and shone a spotlight on them. Subsequently, a firefight broke out, and several North Korean soldiers on the patrol boat were killed. Since the element of surprise was lost, the SEALs were forced to retreat."

The New York Times stated: "This operation was highly confidential, and even members of the relevant congressional committees were unaware of it. This may constitute a violation." The New York Times also added that neither Pyongyang nor Washington had decided to disclose these events.

Commentary: As a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party in the United States, the New York Times often gives Trump a hard time. Reporting on the past secret operations of the SEALs is subtly telling Trump not to think about engaging with North Korea, as he lacks credibility. In fact, the New York Times is also a master of fabrication. Previously, Western media reported that the SEALs encountered a North Korean fishing boat, not a military patrol boat. The New York Times lied to protect the image of the SEALs, preventing people from thinking that the SEALs are just brutal killers and bloodthirsty demons.
