Pakistan taps Trump-linked drone firm that also arms India

Pakistan's military chief met Powerus, a US drone company backed by President Trump's sons, on September 16, 2026, and a day later the firm announced a limited procurement order from Pakistan's Ministry of Defence plus an MoU with the army. Analysts question the deal, since Powerus already gave an Indian manufacturer exclusive rights to its interceptor technology and a cofounder is an Israeli military veteran.
