President Trump signed a proclamation imposing a 100% tariff on drones deemed particularly sensitive for national security, and 25% on smaller drones, citing findings from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that the U.S. is 'too reliant' on foreign drone sources.
The EU, Japan, Liechtenstein, South Korea, Switzerland, and Taiwan face 15% tariffs, while the UK gets a 10% rate. The tariffs on sensitive drones take effect in 21 days; less sensitive components get 180 days.
The administration says foreign drones and components pose security and cybersecurity risks and that domestic production can't meet national security needs.
