Chinese drone monopoly put on notice amid concerns over CCP spying: 'Strategic mistake'
Rep. Pat Harrigan is leading efforts to phase out Chinese-made drones in U.S. law enforcement due to security concerns. The American Drone Manufacturing Dominance Act of 2026 would allocate $1.5 billion from Trump's Section 301 tariffs to support domestic drone manufacturing and restrict foreign drone use after 2027. Da Jiang Innovations (DJI) is a major supplier of drones to U.S. law enforcement agencies, with 879 units registered in Texas in 2024.
