    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Executive Order 13981, issued by President Donald J. Trump, focuses on protecting the United States from security risks associated with Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) made by foreign adversaries. The order outlines steps to prevent the use of taxpayer money for buying UAS that present security threats, calls for assessments of current government UAS use, and encourages prioritizing domestically produced UAS. It defines "covered UAS" as those manufactured or containing components from nations like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea and emphasizes examining how these systems are used by federal agencies. The order also directs agencies to consider replacing these UAS in future budgets.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a rule to keep the country safe by being careful with drones that might come from places we don't fully trust, like China or Russia. He asked government teams to check if they are using these drones and to think about using ones made at home instead.
