Shares in a little-known drone company soared Wednesday morning after announcing that Donald Trump Jr. had joined its advisory board.
Unusual Machines, an Orlando, Florida-based firm born just two years ago as it acquired a drone manufacturer and a separate drone retailing firm, announced the appointment in an early-morning press release.
“Don Jr. joining our board of advisors provides us unique expertise we need as we bring drone component manufacturing back to America,” Allan Evans, Unusual Machines’ CEO, said in the release. “He brings a wealth of experience and I look forward to his advice and role within the Company as we continue to build our business.”
“The need for drones is obvious. It is also obvious that we must stop buying Chinese drones and Chinese drone parts,” Trump Jr. said in the statement. “I love what Unusual Machines is doing to bring drone manufacturing jobs back to the USA and am excited to take on a bigger role in the movement.”
After publishing the release, Unusual Machines’ stock nearly doubled to more than $10 on heavy trading volume.
In a parallel securities filing Wednesday, Trump Jr. is listed as Unusual Machines’ second-largest shareholder.
