Republican senators are pushing for President Biden to explain why a Chinese spy balloon was allowed to float across the U.S. earlier this year before being shot down.
to explain why a Chinese spy balloon was allowed to float across the U.S. earlier this year before being shot down.
“While four months have passed since a Chinese surveillance balloon was allowed to fly across the United States, your administration has yet to provide the American people a full accounting of how this spy platform was allowed to traverse across sovereign U.S. territory, what the balloon carried, and what it collected during its mission,” the senators wrote.. Mr. Blinken was scheduled to visit the communist power in February but that trip was scrapped because of the balloon incursion.
The senators said the U.S. should address the rumors by making public assessments of the spy balloon. Earlier this year, a spy balloon was observed flying over Canada and Montana. The flight path of the object was near U.S. military installations. The balloon was allowed to travel across much of the continental U.S. before being shot down off the coast of South Carolina.
