US Imposes Up to 100% Tariffs on Foreign-Made Drones; FCC Weighs Tech Restrictions

The US administration announced tariffs of up to 100% on foreign-made drones, a significant escalation in trade protectionism targeting a key technology sector. Concurrently, the FCC is considering restrictions on common drone features like thermal imaging and aerosol spraying, signaling a broader regulatory crackdown. The move aims to boost domestic drone manufacturing but risks supply-chain disruptions and higher costs for US consumers and businesses.
