American drone manufacturers are struggling in the global drone market. Meanwhile, Chinese drone manufacturers are bringing cheap, high-performance drones to the market and winning over many users. DJI in particular is popular with a wide range of users, from hobbyists to those searching for and rescuing lost people and those doing professional work such as oil and gas surveys.
According to a report from the daily Washington Post, President Trump is expected to sign an executive order soon on drone regulation that will likely update federal regulations on where commercial drones can legally be flown.
In recent years, there have been many incidents of unauthorized drones flying over US military bases in the United States.

If signed, the order would impose new licensing requirements on drone manufacturers deemed to pose a 'national security risk.'
'Connected cars' that use Chinese technology have been deemed to pose a 'national security risk,' and the government has decided to ban their import and sale in the United States.
Similarly, in the case of drones, Chinese manufacturers such as DJI and Autel will likely not be able to sell new models.
According to sources, the executive order also included language directing the federal government to actively support American drone manufacturers.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has commented that China has stopped selling drones to Western countries and Ukraine, but continues to ship them to Russia.
