OTTAWA — China’s ambassador to Canada has been called onto the carpet to explain a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is hovering over the U.S.
Global Affairs Canada says Ambassador Cong Peiwu was summoned on Thursday after the balloon was spotted over U.S. airspace.
The Department of National Defence says the balloon’s movements are being tracked by the North American Aerospace Defence Command.
Officials have not said whether the balloon flew over Canadian airspace.
