Last Friday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken postponed his trip to China hours before he was due to leave because of the balloon. While on Tuesday, China's defense minster rejected an overture from US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to discuss the events of the last week.

This week, Biden officials held briefings in Washington and Beijing with foreign diplomats from 40 nations about the balloon.
Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman on Monday briefed nearly 150 foreign diplomats across 40 embassies, an official said, while in Beijing the U.S. embassy gathered foreign diplomats on Monday and Tuesday to present U.S. findings about the balloon.
'We want to make sure that we are sharing as much as we can with countries around the world who may also be susceptible to these types of operations,' the senior administration official said. 
China has said it was a weather balloon that had blown off course into U.S. airspace and was an 'unexpected, isolated incident.' It condemned the shoot-down and accused the United States of overreacting.

The information was similar to what Pentagon has shared with reporters since the weekend, saying the balloons were part of a Chinese aerial fleet that has also violated the sovereignty of other countries. 
On Tuesday, Navy divers began pulling pieces of the balloon from the depths of the ocean floor on Tuesday, using sophisticated reconnaissance drones dubbed the Kingfish and the Swordfish to locate the debris.
After collecting all of the balloon's white fabric and shell structure found floating on the surface, the Navy has now shifted to an all-underwater search for the remnants of the massive balloon.
Navy and Coast Guard personnel were using underwater drones to locate and map the debris field, and divers were in the water gathering up what they could, officials said.
