Because of this it is not surprising that Donald Trump, especially if we take into account that a large part of your personal fortune is related, in one way or another, to this type of project, you have signed a executive order which is specially designed to accelerate the arrival in cities of this new generation of drones designed to fly long distances and fly over cities.
Donald Trump signs a new executive order to accelerate the creation of legislation that regulates the use of drones professionally over any American city

Undoubtedly, a movement that has been expected for a long time, especially if we consider that there are many American companies that in recent months have been complaining about the strict federal regulations that unfortunately have ended up reducing the capacity to develop and advance competitively at the international level of the same.
