“President Biden said the three highflying objects taken down over North America following the shooting down of an alleged Chinese surveillance balloon were likely tied to private companies or related to recreation or scientific research, saying they were removed out of an abundance of caution,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Following days of questions about the administration’s response, Mr. Biden said of the three objects that ‘nothing right now suggests they’re related to China’s spy balloon program.’ He said he has directed his team to develop sharper rules for distinguishing objects that present safety risks and require action.”
He added: “But make no mistake, if any object that presents a threat to the safety and security of the American people. I will take it down.”
