🇺🇸⚡️- US contractors who operate a US military-owned surveillance blimp lost the blimp during a storm on Monday.

The blimp's tether cable, which keeps it connected to the ground, became tangled with other cables. While the contractors tried to untangle it, they lost control of the blimp, and it floated away.

Neither the contractors nor the Customs and Border Protection agency, which was the end user of the blimp, knew its location until Mexico's military found it inside Mexico and alerted them.

US Customs and Border Protection uses these blimps as a cheap method of border surveillance, often mounted with small radars or cameras to surveil large border zones for smugglers, drones, or other aircraft used by cartels.

🇺🇸🇹🇼⚡️- President Trump has again stated he will speak with Taiwan President Lai Ching-te.

US-Taiwan relations have only been informal since. Meaning official and direct communication between the two leaders would be a significant step.
