Preparing for President Trump’s tariff campaign: the Joe Biden Administration plans to ban Chinese drones on U.S. territory

On January 2, 2024, President Joe Biden’s administration began considering a ban on purchasing and using Chinese-made drones in the United States.

This decision is driven by drones’ growing role in modern conflicts and the need to minimize critical risks associated with dependence on foreign technologies.

The goal is to ensure full coverage of the need for unmanned aerial vehicles through domestic production before the likely outbreak of a global military conflict in 2028-2029, which will strengthen the security of the United States and its allies.
