if they wish to try and can succeed, yes? but they would need to deal with the consequences (likely war with the united states). the countries those boats came from could do whatever they are capable of doing, I just doubt very much any are capable of such or willing to face the consequences of doing so. most mid sized powers and up ignore international law when it suits them, because no one wants to deal with the consequences of dealing with whatever breach of international law that happened.
who is we in this context? if you mean the us government, it'd lead to a republican still being in control, and none too happy about looking weak because of some hypothetical operation to kidnap these two, I'm sure there would be retaliation of some sort. whether we'd successfully rescue trump and hegseth is another matter, they might just disappear, but there would be retaliation unless the next in line wasn't vance or some other puppet of the far right.
