President Donald Trump said on Aug. 25 that the United States is intensifying its focus on drone warfare, calling it the most significant shift in combat since World War II.

Speaking in the Oval Office alongside South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump said the Pentagon is studying “very carefully” how drones are reshaping the battlefield, pointing to the war in Ukraine as an example of how unmanned systems have become central to modern fighting.
