Trump administration to impose tariffs on drone imports

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he will impose tariffs on imports of drones and their components, including from some key U.S. allies, with the Trump administration saying the country was "too reliant" ​on foreign sources of drones.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that a proclamation signed by Trump imposes a 100% ad valorem ​tariff on drones of a certain size or with certain capabilities ⁠that are particularly sensitive for national security purposes, the White House said, adding ​that a tariff of 25% will be imposed on drones that are smaller in ​size.

A 15% tariff will be imposed on drones and components from the European Union, Japan, Liechtenstein, South Korea, Switzerland, and Taiwan, and a 10% ad valorem tariff will be imposed on drones ​from the UK, the White House added.
