> President Donald Trump signed a proclamation imposing tariffs of up to 100% on certain drones and components, with lower rates for smaller drones and products from several trading partners. The White House said the measures aim to protect national security and expand US production. They take effect in 21 days, while their impact on a recently announced US-Ukraine drone agreement remains unclear.
