Two House Republicans are calling on the Biden administration to declassify information on national security risks posed by Chinese-manufactured drones.

Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), chairwoman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), particularly those made by Da Jiang Innovation (DJI) and Autel Robotics, are of particular concern.
