hello. i m victor blackwell. welcome to cnn newsroom. any moment now, president biden is expected to update americans on the recent and unprecedented shootdowns of objects over north america. the president has been facing growing pressure to bring more transparency to the issue that has gripped the nation for the last month. let s get straight to jeremy diamond in washington. what are we expecting to hear from the president? this is the first time we hear directly from president biden in a formal setting on the downing not only of that chinese spy balloon but the three objects brought down between friday and sunday. to get to this point, a couple of things had to happen because the white house has really been in discussions over the last several days about the wisdom, the merits of the president potentially addressing this issue. they were wary at first of making this a bigger issue than it actually is. and they were also wanting to make sure the president waited until
