Whether legal or not, two sons profiting from drone companies while their father wages a drone war raises serious concerns.Eric Trump invested in XTEND, an Israeli AI drone company, as part of a $1.5 billion merger announced on February 17, 2026. Donald Trump Jr. serves on the advisory board of Unusual Machines, which also backed the deal. Both are also investors in Powerus, a drone manufacturer preparing to go public.XTEND was selected for the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance Program, which is expected to spend $1.1 billion on drones by 2027. The company promotes its systems as “low cost per kill” and holds multimillion-dollar Defense Department contracts. Eleven days after the investment announcement, the U.S. and Israel carried out major strikes on Iran using attack drones.Ethics experts say these ties create the appearance of profiting from presidential decisions.
