What we're covering

• President Joe Biden said his administration plans to "take care of" a suspected Chinese spy balloon that has been flying over the United States this week.
• The balloon was spotted over the Carolinas Saturday and is expected to exit the eastern coast of the US soon, based on a NOAA weather model. The FAA has issued a ground stop for three area airports for a "national security effort."
• US officials say the balloon is being used for surveillance, rejecting China's claim that it is a civilian research aircraft. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a trip to China in response to the sightings.
• Meanwhile, another Chinese spy balloon has been spotted over Latin America, the Pentagon said Friday evening.
