Improved surveillance capabilities allowed the U.S. administration to identify the Chinese spy balloon that traversed the country last week and detect similar flights during the Trump years, according to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Since President Joe Biden took office, the United States “enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect,” he said at a Feb. 6 event hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition.
