“SHOOT DOWN THE BALLOON!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday, echoing Republican Reps. ម៉ាជររីល័រថេល័រក្រេន (Ga.) and លោក Ryan Zinke (Mont.), who also tweeted that the balloon should be shot down, a measure U.S. officials have reportedly avoided out of fears that falling debris could hurt people on the ground.

Some Republicans requested briefings on the balloon sighting: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) called for a “Gang of Eight” briefing, គាត់បានធ្វីតធ្វីត, referring to House and Senate leaders, along with the chairs and ranking members of the Intelligence Committees, while Montana Sen. Steve Daines sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin requesting a “full security briefing from the administration,” NBC reported.

Other GOP members called out the Biden Administration for what they said is an inadequate approach to dealing with China: Sen. Roger Wicker (Miss.) said in សេចក្តី​ថ្លែង​ការណ៍​មួយ the Pentagon “failed to act with urgency,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) accused Biden of “coddling and appeasing the Chinese communists,” គាត់បានធ្វីតធ្វីតហើយព្រឹទ្ធសភា Rick Scott (Fla.) បានចោទប្រកាន់ប្រធានាធិបតីចិន Xi Jingping កំពុងធ្វើចារកម្មលើអាមេរិក ពីព្រោះគាត់មិនខ្លាច ឬគោរពលោក Joe Biden ។ ធ្វីត។

Concerns about the balloon and claims that it is evidence of increasing threats by China on U.S. national security crossed party lines: Chair of the House Select Committee on China, Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.), along with ranking member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), issued a joint statement calling the balloon “a violation of American sovereignty . . . that demonstrates the [Chinese Communist Party] threat is not confined to distant shores – it is here at home.”
