The 2019 operation, greenlit by President Trump, sought a strategic edge. It left unarmed North Koreans dead.

A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.
