Uday & Qusay Trump invested in a drone company, so no matter what happens with the war, don't worry. They'll be OK.

Into that gap has stepped Powerus, a West Palm Beach, Florida-based company formed last year that has since bought three smaller drone firms and is targeting monthly production of more than 10,000 units.

The company will go public through a reverse merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings, a Florida golf-course holding firm, allowing it to trade on the Nasdaq, according to the Journal.

The outlet reports that Don Jr., 48, and Eric, 42, are invested through American Ventures, one of the family’s investment vehicles. Aureus shareholders already include American Ventures and Dominari Securities—the Trump-backed investment bank that has helped facilitate the family’s cryptocurrency deals.

Unusual Machines, a maker of drone components where Donald Jr. holds shares and sits on the advisory board, is also an investor in Powerus—and Powerus is already one of its customers.

Powerus CEO Andrew Fox told the Journal that the appeal was straightforward: “The drone market is certainly going to grow faster than, say, golf courses are.”
