Just days after a proposed China-made drone ban was excluded from defense legislation, the US Commerce Department shared that it is working on potential new rules to restrict or ban the foreign-made UAVs over national security concerns.

The US government is seeking public input on proposed rules to secure the ICTS supply chain for drones, potentially limiting Chinese drones, which dominate US markets.

It was the role of drones in everyday life that drove Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., to get Congress to restrict the purchase of Chinese drones by federal agencies. Those restrictions were included in a bill that Democratic President Joe Biden signed last year.
