> President Donald Trump signed a proclamation imposing tariffs of 10% to 100% on imported drones and components, citing national security. Drones over 25 kilograms, with thermal imaging or other specified features, will face a 100% tariff, while smaller drones will face 25%. The measures begin after 21 days, with some components delayed 180 days, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is authorized to create an onshoring program.
