Leaked U.S. documents that appeared to show Washington wiretapped the South Korean government were “forged,” Seoul’s presidential office said Tuesday, criticizing the opposition party for using the leak as anti-U.S. “propaganda” despite growing North Korean threats.
The Yoon administration made the claim in a statement outlining its “official” position on the leaked U.S. intelligence documents first reported by The New York Times earlier this week. According to the reports, the leaks cite signal intelligence when detailing internal debates in the ROK government about providing arms to Ukraine.
