Mexican President stops Pentagon from tracking “Asian” balloon in airspace.
Mexican President Denies Pentagon Request to Track Balloon Through Airspace
Standing Up for Mexican Sovereignty
During a recent news conference in Mexico City, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador proudly announced that he denied a request from the Pentagon to track an Asian balloon through Mexican airspace. AMLO has been vocal about his commitment to Mexican sovereignty and has vowed to prevent any foreign intervention in Mexican affairs.
Refusing U.S. Interventionism
According to Lopez Obrador, the Pentagon contacted the Mexican Defense to ask for permission to fly over Mexican airspace with high-tech military planes and drones to track a balloon that was detected coming from Hawaii. Despite the request, the Mexican president refused to allow the U.S. military to follow the balloon as it entered Mexican airspace.
Mexico Willing to Cooperate
Lopez Obrador stated that Mexico is willing to cooperate with the U.S. and that they could send the information to them. However, Mexico would conduct its own tracking operation using its own equipment. Although some information was shared, Mexico did not find anything.
Unclear Where Balloon Went
It is unclear where the balloon went after entering Mexican airspace. The U.S. government has since determined that it was not a Chinese aircraft.
