Trump Announces Tariffs Up to 100% on Imported Drones to Boost U.S. Production
President Donald Trump announced tariffs of up to 100 percent on imports of certain unmanned drones and their components to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign suppliers, particularly China. Larger drones with national security features face the highest tariffs, while smaller drones have a 25 percent duty. The move aims to encourage domestic production amid concerns over national security and follows China's recent restrictions on drone exports to the U.S.
