Pentagon officials say three Chinese spy balloons flew into US territory under former President Trump’s watch — a claim he denied Sunday — and that another crashed off Hawaii four months ago.


Fox News said Sunday that it had confirmed at least one spy balloon did fly over parts of Texas and Florida while Trump was in office.



As critics of Biden bash him for waiting several days to take out the most recent spy balloon as it drifted across the country, Trump denied to Fox News Digital on Sunday that any such apparatuses ever made it over the US under his watch.

“This never happened. It would have never happened,” Trump said, claiming Beijing “respected us greatly” during his term.

“And if it did, we would have shot it down immediately,” he added, while blaming “incompetent” Biden officials for spreading “disinformation” about any balloons in US air space under the Republican former president’s time in office.



The Pentagon on Saturday said officials waited until the latest balloon was over water to shoot it down with a military jet.

The balloon had first entered American airspace between Russia and Alaska on Jan. 28 and breached the continental US on Tuesday.

China claimed the balloon was for meteorological research and had accidentally flown into US airspace, down through Canada, into Idaho, and across the entire country.



Chinese officials said Saturday that shooting the balloon down was an “excessive reaction” and that the country “retains the right to respond further.”
