Drone Company Backed by Trump Sons Seeks Gulf State Contracts Amid Iran Tensions
Florida-based Powerus, which added Eric and Donald Trump Jr. last month, is pursuing defense contracts with Gulf nations under Iranian attack.

A Florida-based drone manufacturing company that recently brought on Donald Trump's two oldest sons is actively seeking defense contracts with Gulf states currently facing attacks from Iran.
Powerus announced last month that Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. had joined the company in unspecified roles. The timing coincides with the firm's efforts to win contracts with Gulf countries that rely on U.S. military protection against Iranian threats.
The sales campaign positions the drone-maker to potentially profit from regional conflicts while the Trump brothers' father leads the U.S. military response to Iranian aggression in the region. Gulf nations have increasingly sought advanced defense systems to counter drone and missile attacks attributed to Iran and its proxies.
The company specializes in drone interception technology, which has become increasingly valuable as unmanned aerial vehicles play a larger role in Middle Eastern conflicts. Gulf states have been targeted by various forms of aerial attacks in recent months, creating demand for defensive systems.
The arrangement raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, as the company seeks to benefit from military situations involving U.S. forces under the command of the Trump administration. Details about the specific nature of the Trump sons' involvement with Powerus and the scope of their proposed Gulf contracts remain limited.
