“I ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down on Wednesday as soon as possible,” Biden said. “They decided, without doing damage to anyone on the ground, they decided that the best time to do that was as it got over water within a 12-mile limit.” Austin also noted that after Biden authorized the military on Wednesday to “take down the surveillance balloon as soon as the mission could be accomplished without undue risk to American lives,” the Pentagon determined that shooting it down over land “posed an undue risk to people.”
Just hours earlier, Biden said “we’re going to take care of it” when asked on Saturday morning if the U.S. planned to shoot it out of the sky.
