President Joe Biden and his team are considering him giving a speech soon to address issues around the high-altitude Chinese balloon and three other objects shot down by U.S. fighter jets, a source familiar with discussions said on Wednesday.
The idea is for Biden to give the speech before departing early next week on a trip to Poland, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Biden has been under pressure from lawmakers to speak more extensively about the spate of flyovers by unidentified objects, which have baffled many Americans.
[I’d prefer that he answer questions from a press corps prepared to ask them. Who has any confidence that Biden will offer a sensible and honest explanation for this sequence of events — or that one exists that doesn’t involve admissions of incompetence? — Ed]
