President returned to the White House from Camp David Monday to say it was 'always' his intention to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon that a U.S. military jet downed on Saturday.
His comments came amid ongoing pressure from in and criticism that he should have acted sooner, with congressional committees set to look into the matter and lawmakers demanding further briefings.
Asked if it was always his view to shoot it down, Biden responded, 'Oh no, it was always my position. Once it came over into the United States from Canada, I told the Defense Department I wanted to shoot it down as soon as it was appropriate.'
