Controversy has arisen in America over a drone startup in which President Trump’s sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are involved. According to the report, Florida’s Powers company is trying to sell its drone systems to countries in the Middle East.

Trump’s sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. joined the company as consultants in late February, the same time when the US and Israel attacked Iran. However, both are expected to get a bigger stake in the company.

Officials associated with Powers have met officials in Abu Dhabi. The discussion took place on the issue that weapons and drone defense systems could be sold to UAE, as it wants to further strengthen its defense against Iran.

After this incident, critics say that the President’s family members are profiting from the war.

Florida company Powerus is trying to sell its technology in several Gulf countries.

Powers co-founder Brett Velikovich said his team is showing drone demos in several Gulf countries to explain how their interceptor drones can help defend against Iranian attacks. However, he did not tell in which countries this demonstration was being held.

Velikovich said that America will have to rapidly develop drone technology to compete with countries like China and Russia, otherwise it will be left behind. He said that this is not just politics but a matter of national security.

Increasing demand for anti-drone system

It is clear from this whole matter that due to the Iran war, the demand for drones and anti-drone systems is increasing. Iran is using cheap drones, while the US and its allies try to shoot them down with expensive missile systems. This is creating a huge cost difference.

This is the reason why a big opportunity is being created for companies making cheap and effective anti-drone systems. Powers has recently launched an interceptor named ‘Guardian-1’, which is specifically designed to shoot down suicide drones, such as Iran’s Shahed-136.

Powers eyes $1.1 billion fund

According to The Guardian report, Powers is eyeing the $1.1 billion fund set aside by the Pentagon for drone manufacturing. This fund has been kept to increase drone manufacturing in America.

This company says that this is the time to develop technology rapidly, because the world is in a kind of arms race.

Some former US military officers are also associated with Powers. These included General Charles Q. Brown and retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who are providing strategic advice to the company.

Powers company was initially making drones for tasks like farming and extinguishing forest fires. Now it is rapidly preparing drones for military use also.

Powers is preparing to be listed in the share market

Powers company is preparing to be listed in the stock market soon. For this it is going to merge with a NASDAQ listed company. Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in this business.

Both brothers are active investors in the drone sector and are associated with a fund named American Ventures, which has invested about $ 1 billion in drone companies. He also plays an important role in the Trump Organization.

Eric Trump defended this investment, saying that he is proud to invest in companies he trusts. According to him, drones are a big technology of the future.

Opposition leader wrote a complaint letter to the Defense Minister

Former US ethics official Richard Painter alleged that the President’s family members were trying to profit from the war. He said- This may be the first time that a President’s family earns so much money from war.

Painter said Gulf countries may be under pressure to buy from companies linked to the president’s family so they can continue to receive American support. He said that Trump’s sons’ company is doing business at a time when his father’s decisions led to war. This raises the issue of conflict of interest.

Opposition leaders have also raised questions on these investments of Trump Jr. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has written a letter to Defense Minister Pete Hegseth asking whether government contracts are being awarded to these companies properly, or whether the President’s family is being benefited.

Richard Painter posted on X calling the Trump family ‘war profiteers’.

What does Powers Company do?

Poweras was established in 2025. This company has been started by former military officers and technology experts. Since the beginning, its focus has been on advanced drone and automation technology.

This company manufactures modern drones, autonomous systems and security related equipment. Its drones can be used for purposes like military, surveillance, border security and disaster relief.

The company’s co-founder is Brett Velicovich, who has been associated with the US Army. The company operates through separate units that focus on air, defense and maritime drone systems.

Powers has so far received investments of about 50 to 60 million dollars. Big names like Eric Trump and Donald Trump are also associated with the company as investors.

The company is still new, so no official information related to its earnings is public. At present the company’s focus is on production and technology development.

Trump family’s business extends from hotel to technology

Donald Trump’s family has long been known for its large business empire. The main business of the Trump family is run through the Trump Organization, which is spread in many areas.

The traditional business of the Trump family has been in the real estate and hotel sector. They have luxury hotels, resorts and golf courses in many cities of the world. Apart from this, they also invest in big commercial buildings and property projects.

In recent years, the Trump family has also expanded its business into new areas. They are now moving beyond hotel and golf business and investing in many new areas, such as cryptocurrency, prediction markets and defense related companies.
