Trump-Backed Drone Firm Eyes Gulf Amid Iran Tensions

Powerus, a drone manufacturing company with backing from President Donald Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., is aggressively pitching its products to Gulf countries under threat from Iran. In a high-stakes environment, these nations rely heavily on the U.S. military, led by President Trump, for defense.

As tensions escalate, Powerus focuses on showcasing their drone interceptors as a means of defense against Iranian attacks. Co-founder Brett Velicovich emphasizes the technological edge of their products, while denying any conflict of interest related to the Trump family's involvement.

The company's growth strategy includes leveraging a $1.1 billion Pentagon fund designed to bolster U.S. drone manufacturing capabilities. Critics have raised concerns over the ethical implications of the Trumps potentially profiting from military engagements initiated by their father.
