Trump's son is busy making money amid the war, pressuring Gulf countries to buy weapons.

News Topical, Digital Desk : A new controversy has emerged amid tensions between the US and Israel-Iran. US President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., has been accused of pressuring Gulf countries into missile and drone deals.

Donald Trump Jr. has tried to sell interceptor drones and missile systems to Gulf countries through his company. Pentagon documents reveal that Trump Jr.'s company is a major investor in Paws, an autonomous drone company based in Polaroid.

The company is reportedly active in supplying drones and missile systems to boost security in the Gulf region during the US-Iran war. Sources say Trump Jr. is personally contacting officials in some Gulf countries to push for the sale of these weapons.

Eye on Pentagon drone fund

The Pentagon recently allocated a special fund of approximately ₹10,201 crore for drone and missile defense. This fund aims to provide advanced drone and interceptor systems to US allies to counter threats posed by Iran and the China-Russia alliance.

Trump Jr.'s company is poised to capitalize on this fund. Sources indicate that the company has devised a strategy to obtain a share of this fund by selling drone systems to Gulf countries.

Demand increased amid the Iran war

The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict has raised security concerns in Gulf countries, and many countries are now looking for advanced air defense systems and drone interceptors.

Donald Trump Jr.'s company, Pavas, is offering these countries customized drone solutions tailored to the Middle East's security landscape. Experts believe the company is trying to leverage the Trump family's political standing to secure new deals.
