Trump’s Sons Invest in Company Aiming to Sell Drones With Ukrainian Technology

The sons of US President Donald Trump are investing in a new drone manufacturer, Powerus, which plans to acquire Ukrainian technology.

This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The company plans to go public on the Nasdaq in the near future, merging with Aureus Greenway, which owns several golf courses in Florida.

Aureus Greenway’s shareholders include the Trump family’s investment fund American Ventures, Unusual Machines, where Donald Trump Jr. is a shareholder and member of the advisory board, and Dominari Securities, an investment bank associated with the Trump family.

“The drone market will grow much faster than the golf course market,” commented Powerus CEO Andrew Fox on the future merger.

Over the past six months, Powerus has acquired three small companies and sells both aerial and marine drones. The company has announced plans to produce more than 10,000 drones per month.

Powerus co-founder Brett Velichkovich, a veteran of the US Special Operations Forces, said the company is in talks to acquire Ukrainian drone manufacturers or license their technology for subsequent production under an American brand in the US.

Powerus is a startup founded in 2025 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The company manufactures aerial and marine drones. Among its developments are drones for extinguishing forest fires and devices capable of carrying up to about 675 kg of cargo.

Interest in the production of drones in the US has grown following changes in Donald Trump’s administration policy.

The Pentagon is banking on the rapid, large-scale introduction of small drones, and has banned new Chinese drone models. These have dominated the consumer and commercial markets for over a decade.

Last year, the US Marine Corps formed its first unit of attack drones.
