Trump sons invest in drone firms tied to Pentagon contracts

Donald Trump’s two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, are investing in multiple drone-manufacturing transactions, including a $1.5 billion merger linking Xtend and JFB Construction Holdings and a restructuring of Powerus with Aureus Greenway Holdings.Xtend has disclosed Pentagon contracts and a role in the Pentagon's Drone Dominance Program, while Powerus’ deal lists Dominari Securities and American Ventures as investors and Donald Trump Jr previously backed Unusual Machines, which holds a US Army contract.Ethics experts and watchdogs say these combined deals create apparent conflicts of interest and warn that government procurement and foreign business ties could indirectly benefit the Trump family without stronger disclosure and oversight.
