Former President Trump has reportedly spoken out about the alleged Chinese surveillance balloon floating over northern America, urging President Biden and his government to “shoot” it down.
Trump, who stated in November that he will seek the Presidency again in 2024, is not alone in urging the Biden administration to take fast action against the rogue balloon.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is set to declare her presidential run in 2024 later this month, has also called on the Biden administration to take bold action.
According to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the Pentagon addressed the suspected surveillance balloon that was detected over Billings, Montana, and said Thursday that while they considered taking down the possible threat, they ultimately decided against any action due to the risk to the safety and security of people on the ground from the possible debris field.
Shoot down the balloon. Cancel Blinken’s trip. Hold China accountable.
Biden is letting China walk all over us. It’s time to make America strong again.

The suspect balloon, which is said to be the size of three school buses, is now being followed by the United States authorities.
The People’s Republic of China announced Friday that the balloon device hovering over Montana is in fact Chinese, but is only intended for civilian usage.
