In a stunning revelation, it has been revealed that President Biden knew about a Chinese spy balloon that had been floating over a US Air Force base for several days, but kept it a secret until Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to China.
The balloon, which was discovered hovering over a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile site in Wyoming, was first spotted by a US Air Force crew on April 26. However, it was not until May 3, when Blinken was preparing to leave for a trip to China, that the incident was made public.
The balloon, which was equipped with cameras and other surveillance equipment, was discovered to be part of a Chinese military operation. The US military has since taken action to ensure the balloon is no longer a threat.
The revelation that President Biden had known about the Chinese spy balloon since April 26, yet kept it a secret until Blinken’s trip, has raised serious questions about the White House’s approach to handling potential security threats.
Critics of the administration have argued that the decision to keep the balloon a secret for so long was a mistake and could have potentially put Blinken’s trip in jeopardy. They have also argued that the balloon’s presence should have been made public sooner in order to give the US military more time to respond to the threat.
The Biden administration has yet to comment on the incident, but it is clear that the decision to keep the balloon’s presence a secret for so long has caused some controversy. It remains to be seen how the White House will address the issue moving forward.
