“I instructed the team to develop rules for responding to unknown objects in the future,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Biden noted that in the event of a threat, the United States will continue to shoot down air targets.

According to the American leader, the rules will be refined as the situation develops.

Earlier, the US Department of Commerce imposed sanctions on six Chinese entities that, according to US authorities, contribute to the development of the country's aerospace industry, including the creation of balloons.

The Pentagon said the United States is allowing for a review of its China strategy as it learns new data on Chinese balloon activity.

Biden announced his intention to talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
