A bipartisan group of lawmakers has urged the Pentagon to deny export licenses to Chinese drone manufacturer DJI and review the export approval process over national security concerns.
In a letter dated Dec. 18 to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, 15 lawmakers raised concerns that U.S. companies export critical technology to DJI that helps American adversaries attack U.S. allies. They said the Department of Defense (DOD) “should not be recommending approval of export control licenses for U.S. technology that advances DJI’s capabilities.”
