Trump Promises Report on Drone Sightings

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to reveal the full story behind the recent drone sightings over New Jersey and other states, pledging to provide this information 'one day into his administration' on January 21. He criticized the Biden administration for not being transparent about the drone activity, asserting that the government knows more than it is disclosing. Trump mentioned that these drones, which have been observed near military facilities and residential areas, might be linked to the government's own operations and suggested that the military is aware of their origins. Republican governors, including Virginia's Glenn Youngkin and Louisiana's Jeff Landry, echoed frustrations over the lack of clarity regarding drone incursions in secure airspace. The Pentagon and other officials have downplayed the threat posed by these drones, attributing many sightings to hobbyists flying inexpensive quadcopters. Concerns have arisen about national security, prompting discussions about restricting the sale of certain Chinese-made drones in the U.S. due to cyber vulnerabilities.
