Trump's son's investment in military drones sparks controversy

(Washington News) The two sons of US President Trump have supported the commercial investment plan for drones, including defense systems. This move has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest at a time when Trump launched military action against Iran.

According to the press release issued by the listed company Aureus Greenway Holdings on Monday (March 9th), the eldest son of Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and the second son, Eric, are important investors in the merger case between the autonomous drone company Powerus and Aureus Greenway Holdings.

According to the press release, the newly merged company will be named Powerus and will produce autonomous drones for "military and commercial purposes in high-risk environments". The press release also states that the conflicts in the Middle East have demonstrated that this plan is feasible.

The deputy director of the non-governmental organization "Washington Citizens' Ethical Responsibility Organization" (CREW), Libowitz, pointed out that the Powerus investment plan is particularly eye-catching. The Iranian war has led to a significant increase in the demand for drones, and the duration of this war largely depends on the president. This raises concerns that the war initiated by Trump might be bringing benefits to his family.

Powerus said that the company is striving to achieve the goal of producing more than 10,000 drones per month, a quantity that is almost higher than the total output of all other drone manufacturers in the United States.

The Washington Citizens' Ethical Responsibility Organization has previously released several reports, accusing the Trump administration of having conflicts of interest. For instance, the cryptocurrency business of the Trump family may have an interest connection with the digital monetary policy promoted by the White House.
