The Department of Commerce has launched a national security investigation into the import of drones and polyticles, which is the raw material used in chips and solar panels. Among other things, officials are considering the ability to “surrender their control over supplies” of “hunter trade methods” and drone parts, drone parts and polynicins, as well as the derivatives.
The DOC launched an investigation on July 1, but only revealed them publicly. Investigations can lead to further taxes on US imports, which will increase the prices of drones and products that use polyselic. Per notice that is being published in the Federal Register, officials will consider that “additional measures, including taxes or quotes are also necessary for national security protection.”
President Donald Trump has used the same legal process, as these investigations have used these investigations to impose revenue on steel and aluminum (50 %), cars and car parts (25 %) and copper (50 %). Semiciders, consumer electronics, aerospace components and second investigations of pharmaceutical choice are underway. They are being carried out under Section 232 of the Trade Extension Act.
According to Financial TimesChina is an important market for polynican manufacturing. It is said that all commercial drones have also been developed in the country. Under the Biden administration, the United States increased the tariffs on import of solar energy and polythelicone from China at the beginning of 2025.
