Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) expressed his support of Secretary of State Antony Blinken's cancellation of his upcoming trip to Beijing, China.
Gallagher said the secretary made the"right call" after the discovery of a suspected Chinese balloon.
"It's the latest evidence that the CCP's techno-totalitarian vision and strategies are not confined to Chinese borders and are threatening us here at home." "This is a surveillance device controlled by a hostile foreign adversary, illegally entered U.S. airspace, violating our sovereignty, and inexplicably we are allowing it to continue flying over our country," Gallagher said."I don't buy the CCP's narrative that this was just a civilian weather balloon."
