Trump imposes 100% tariffs on select drone imports and all large aircraft parts

President Donald Trump has announced 100 percent tariffs on several categories of drone imports, including drones equipped with thermal cameras and those weighing over 25 kilograms. All parts for unmanned aircraft above that weight threshold are also subject to the new tariff rate. The move follows earlier US measures restricting future foreign drone sales in the country, extending the administration's crackdown to existing imports. The action is part of a broader effort to raise costs on foreign-made drone technology entering the American market. Smaller consumer drones under 250 grams are subject to separate, unspecified tariff terms under the same presidential action.
