President Trump is expected to sign multiple executive orders that amount to an effective ban on Chinese drones in the U.S. in the coming days, accelerating Washington’s crackdown on a company that makes products popular with consumers but has worrying ties to Beijing.
Shenzhen DJI Technology is the world’s leading drone manufacturer, favored by photographers and other hobbyists, but its ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s military have landed it on U.S. blacklists.
The expected executive orders could lead to a ban on the sale of new Chinese drones in the U.S. and block Americans from importing those products, an industry source told National Review. The source cautioned that the orders have not been finalized are still likely subject to change.
One of them would expedite the addition of Chinese drone companies to the Federal Communications Commission’s covered list, thus blocking companies from selling new products in America. Another expected order would direct the Commerce Department to issue new export controls targeting the companies.
