Drone Firm's Stock Surges After Donald Trump Jr. Joins Advisory Board

Unusual Machines appoints Trump Jr., citing his experience and alignment with plans to boost U.S. drone manufacturing.

Unusual Machines, a Florida-based drone company, saw its stock price more than double after announcing Donald Trump Jr. as a new advisory board member.
The company emphasized its goal of reducing reliance on Chinese imports and strengthening domestic drone manufacturing, aligning with Trump Jr.'s public statements.
Despite its stated commitment to onshoring, Unusual Machines disclosed in SEC filings that it remains heavily dependent on Chinese components for its products.
Donald Trump Jr. was previously listed as the second-largest shareholder of the company, though he currently holds no shares following a recent offering.
The stock surge highlights the influence of the Trump name, as the company also seeks to expand into Pentagon-compliant drone production.
