China had apologised for the incident, claiming it had been a weather balloon which had been blown off course, but US officials made clear they did not believe that explanation and the Pentagon restated its assessment it was a surveillance aircraft, adding that by midday Friday it had changed course and was over the centre of the country.
Blinken’s trip, due to begin on Friday night, has been put off until circumstances are more 'conducive', US officials said.
