Trump Signals Toward Drone-Drone Tariffs and a US-China Tech Split
TL;DR
The Trump administration announced tariffs of up to 100% on imported drones and their components to curb US reliance on foreign suppliers, with heavier drones over 25 kilograms facing the top rate and smaller models taxed at 25%; while China is not named in the release, the move is likely to accelerate a two-way decoupling of drone supply chains between the US and China and spur domestic production.
