A Bloomberg report reveals that the U.S. Air Force will purchase interceptor drones from Powerus, a West Palm Beach company partially owned by President Donald Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump. After a demonstration in Arizona, the military agreed to buy an undisclosed quantity of the drones, marking Powerus’s first weapons sale to the U.S. armed forces and reflecting a broader push to counter inexpensive Iranian attack drones with cheaper interceptors. Critics, including a Washington University law professor, have called the deal “corruption,” noting the potential pressure on government officials to favor contracts that enrich the president’s family. The article also notes that Eric Trump recently appeared on Fox Business after his firm Foundation Industries secured a $24 million Department of Defense contract to develop battlefield humanoid robots, and that his World Liberty Financial venture is facing a breach‑of‑contract lawsuit from billionaire investor Justin Sun.

"The sales drive by Florida-based #Powerus – which announced a deal last month to bring aboard #EricTrump and #DonaldTrumpJr. – positions the company to potentially benefit from a war that their father began.

" 'These countries are under enormous pressure to buy from the sons of the president so he will do what they want,' said Richard Painter, a former chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush. 'This is going to be the first family of a president to make a lot of money off war — a war he didn’t get the consent of Congress for.' "
