WATCH LIVE: President Biden delivers speech on Chinese spy balloon and 3 flying objects shot down
President Joe Biden said the U.S. "acted out of an abundance of caution" when shooting down three unidentified aerial objects flying over North American airspace this past weekend.
"But make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the American people, I will take it down," Biden said.The president's remarks on Thursday were the first time he's commented extensively on the issue, more than two weeks after the spy balloon was spotted over Montana.The balloon that traversed the continental U.S. between Jan. 28 and Feb. 4 added tension to the already fraught U.S.-China relationship.
The administration has yet to confirm what those objects were or where they came from, though White House spokesperson John Kirby said earlier this week a "leading explanation" within the intelligence community is that the objects may have been for commercial or benign use.
