Powerus, a Florida-based drone startup backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is actively pitching its drone technology to Gulf countries amid escalating tensions with Iran. Following the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, the company is showcasing interceptor systems designed to combat Iranian attacks. Critics, including Richard Painter, a former official under President George W. Bush, have condemned the Trump brothers for potentially profiting from the conflict, arguing that this marks a troubling precedent for a presidential family. Powerus co-founder Brett Velicovich emphasized the urgency of competing in the arms race, stating that American manufacturing must be prioritized. As the conflict in West Asia enters its sixth week, the situation remains volatile, with Iran and Israel ramping up military operations. The U.S. President has indicated that the ongoing strikes will not hinder potential ceasefire discussions with Iran.
