US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday scrapped a long-planned Beijing trip aimed at easing escalating tensions between the two superpowers, after the Pentagon said that China sent a spy balloon over the United States.
Moments before the decision, China issued a late-night statement voicing regret over what it called an accident with a civilian airship but the United States was not impressed by the statement.
Blinken, who has faced intense pressure over the trip from the rival Republican Party, decided to postpone his two-day visit starting on Sunday, which would have been the first by a top US diplomat since October 2018.
