Trump Administration Announces Tariffs of Up to 100% on Imported Drones and Components, Citing National Security

President Trump has announced new tariffs, with rates up to 100%, on imported drones and their components. The White House justified the decision on national security grounds, stating that the program aims to protect U.S. security and its defense industrial base while creating jobs. The tariffs will apply to certain unmanned aircraft systems, particularly those over 25 kilograms or with national-security capabilities like thermal cameras.
