[Trump Administration Plans to Invest in Drone Companies to Promote Domestic Production and Potentially Acquire Equity] (1) Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the Trump administration is in talks with several drone companies about financing cooperation to promote the domestic production of drones, whose strategic value is becoming increasingly prominent, and to reduce procurement costs. (2) Several private drone companies have been consulting with the U.S. Department of Defense for several months, and the Strategic Capital Office established by the Biden administration is also involved (this agency provides credit support to companies in the national security supply chain). (3) The negotiations are currently in the qualification review stage, and specific terms have not yet been finalized; some cooperation plans may combine debt and equity investment, meaning that the U.S. government will acquire a portion of the equity of the relevant companies.
