The American company Powerus, which recently welcomed Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is trying to sell interceptor drones to Persian Gulf countries amid attacks from Iran. This is reported by the Associated Press, writes UNN.

Details

According to the agency, the company is already demonstrating its drones in several countries in the region, offering them as a means of protection against Iranian strikes. Against this background, the US has already started talking about a possible conflict of interest, as it is a business related to the family of the current president.

Our team is currently conducting many demonstrations of our interceptors throughout the Middle East. We have incredible technology that can save lives.

– said Powerus co-founder Brett Velicovich.

Critics believe that the involvement of Trump's sons in such a business amid the war in the Middle East creates serious ethical risks.

These countries are under tremendous pressure to buy from the president's sons so that he does what they want.

– said former White House chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter.

Last month, Powerus also announced plans to merge with the Trump family-affiliated company Aureus Greenway, which is expected to take the drone manufacturer public.
