They are backing a drone manufacturing company called Powerus. I don't know. I am sure the US will be using another contractor. I mean, Trump would have no incentive or reason to use this company, so I am sure there is nothing to see here.
President Donald Trump’s eldest sons have already made a killing during their father’s second term with
Don Jr. and
Eric raking in billions for the family by
hawking cryptocurrency and
licensing the family name to developers abroad. Now they are intending to make a killing more directly — in military drones. On Monday, one week after six U.S. soldiers were killed by a drone strike in Kuwait, the Trump brothers announced they are backing a company called Powerus, which makes drones to operate in
“high-risk environments,” such as a war or
whatever euphemisms lawmakers are using for Donald Trump’s attack on Iran this week.Eric and Donald Trump Jr. have actually been in the drone business for several months now. Late last year, Trump Jr. joined the board of a drone manufacturer called Unusual Machines that is
already getting government contracts; in February, Eric Trump invested in an Israeli drone manufacturer that
boasts of its “low cost per kill” ratio and was used by the IDF to map tunnels in Gaza. But their Powerus deal puts them closer into the world of defense contracting than ever before. The Trump brothers will help take the company public via a reverse merger in which Powerus will become part of a publicly traded golf-course holding company in which the Trumps have a stake. (The move is similar to the SPAC launches that
Trump Jr. favors. Both a reverse merger and a SPAC allow companies to go public quickly without the usual rigors of a public launch.)
The Trump sons are defense contractors now
