A Florida-based drone company backed by US President Donald Trump's two eldest sons is pitching its products to Gulf countries facing attacks from Iran and relying on US military support led by their father amid the ongoing US-Iran war.
Powerus, which recently brought on Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is positioning itself to benefit from the ongoing conflict that began after US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
The company is conducting drone demonstrations across several Gulf nations, showcasing interceptor systems designed to counter Iranian attacks.
Responding to criticism, Eric Trump said he was incredibly proud to invest in companies he believed in and that drones were clearly the wave of the future.
Powerus has rejected concerns about conflicts of interest and is targeting a share of the Pentagon's $1.1 billion fund aimed at strengthening US drone production.
