#Kosher #trading #everysingletime trump sons drones contracts insider trading Eric and Donald Trump Jr. have invested in multiple defense-tech firms, including drone companies Powerus and Unusual Machines, which have secured or are pursuing Pentagon contracts, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and potential insider influence. Powerus, partly owned by the Trump sons through their investment in Aureus Greenway Holdings, was awarded an undisclosed contract by the U.S. Air Force for interceptor drones, shortly after their involvement was announced—despite the drones never having been used in combat. Eric Trump is also tied to XTEND, an Israeli AI drone firm merging with a U.S. company to go public on Nasdaq, with the merger announced on February 17, 2026—11 days before U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began. Unusual Machines, where Donald Trump Jr. serves on the advisory board, received a $620 million loan from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital to produce drone parts. Critics, including House Oversight Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia and former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter, have labeled these deals as "corruption in plain sight" and warned Gulf states may feel pressured to buy from the Trump-linked firm due to the president’s war policies. While there is no direct evidence of insider trading, Axios reported suspicious financial activity ahead of major policy decisions, such as unusual oil futures trades minutes before Trump paused strikes on Iran. The Trump family’s broader business activities—including crypto ventures and Jared Kushner’s Gulf-funded private equity fund—have intensified scrutiny. Democrats have requested investigations into whether Pentagon contracts are being influenced by ties to the Trump family, but the administration denies any wrongdoing, stating the president has no involvement in his sons’ private business dealings. https://search.brave.com/search?q=trump+sons+drones+contracts+insider+trading&summary=1&conversation=0911cc459f2778242a69455c3f157fe0341f
