US Drone Firm Linked to Trump Sons Signs India Manufacturing Deal Before Pakistan Agreement
US drone company Powerus, linked to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, signed an exclusive licensing agreement in June with India's Paras Defence to manufacture and commercialize its Guardian-1 counter-drone system in India. This deal predates Powerus's September memorandum of understanding with the Pakistan Army for unmanned aerial systems. Paras Defence will pay a license fee and share profits from sales in India. Powerus's engagements with both India and Pakistan highlight its expanding presence in South Asia's defense sector.
