EconomyCritics warn Trump’s 100% drone tariff will be a disaster for the US

The Trump administration imposed a 100 percent tariff on foreign-made drones on Thursday. US Customs and Border Protection says the rate applies to imported drones with thermal imaging or a weight above 55 pounds; smaller drones face a 25 percent tariff, while products from US allies also received lower but significant levies. Critics warn the tariffs will hurt public safety and devastate thousands of US businesses.
