Sharjah24 - Reuters: President Joe Biden plans to give a speech as early as Thursday that will represent his most extensive remarks yet about a high-altitude Chinese balloon and three other objects that were shot down by U.S. fighter jets, two sources familiar with the discussions said on Wednesday.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the speech was expected to be on Thursday. The timing was unclear, but Biden is scheduled in the morning to get a physical examination at Walter Reed hospital.
Biden has been under pressure from lawmakers to speak more extensively about the spate of flyovers by unidentified objects, which have baffled many Americans.
He has made few public comments about the situation, leaving it up to White House officials to talk about it.
The United States has said the Chinese balloon was used for surveillance purposes, while Beijing called it a weather balloon.
