The US government has imposed tariffs on Chinese drones, while the EU has defended its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) against accusations of double standards. Additionally, the US has issued a $36 million fine for export control violations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Drones & UAV.
