The President, who has offered few public comments about the spate of aerial objects, broke his silence after lawmakers demanded more information on the incidents.He said the intelligence community was still trying to learn more about the three unidentified objects: one shot down over Alaska, one over Canada and a third that plunged into Lake Huron.
The incident prompted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to postpone a planned visit to Beijing, where both sides had sought to stabilize already fraught relations.Blinken’s scheduled attendance at the Munich Security Conference this weekend has raised speculation that he could meet China’s top diplomat Wang Yi there.
Asked in advance about Mr Biden’s remarks, China’s foreign ministry spokesman once again referred to the downed balloon as an “unmanned civilian airship,” and said its flight into US airspace was an “isolated” incident.
