US imposes 100% drone tariffs to curb China reliance
New United States tariffs of up to 100 percent took effect on Thursday. These duties target drones and specific components, aiming to reduce import reliance. Larger drones and those with thermal imaging face the highest 100-percent tariff rate. Smaller drones and some components will also face duties, with some delayed. China has expressed strong opposition to these new United States trade measures.
