During her inaugural press briefing on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the presence of unidentified drones flying above New Jersey, emphasizing that they were “not the enemy.”
Leavitt began by sharing a statement from President Trump regarding the drones before opening the floor to questions from reporters.
“After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by FAA for research and various other reasons,” Leavitt read from the statement issued by President Trump.
“Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.”
