'No Link To Chinese Spy Balloon': Biden on downed objects, but says will speak to Xi

Biden Speaks On Downed Flying Objects

In his first official remarks on the shooting down of the objects, Biden said, “We don’t yet know exactly what these three objects were but nothing right now suggests they were related to China’s spy balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles from any other country.” 

“The intelligence community’s current assessment is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research,” he further said, as quoted by CNN.
