As noted by the Journal in a follow-up article, the company\u2019s share price of $26.30 would mark a record high if the gains carried over into the market open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The soaring share price came even though no deal between Pete Hegseth\u2019s Defense Department and Unusual Machines has been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>This is not even the first time companies with strong ties to the president\u2019s children have benefited from administration contracts.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Aureus Greenway, a golf club company on whose board Trump Jr. and his brother Eric serve, announced it would merge with defense company Powerus. Just weeks later, Powerus announced it would sell interceptor drones to the Pentagon amid the war in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Velicovich, the company\u2019s co-founder and president, denied that the administration considered the Trump brothers\u2019 ties to the company before striking the deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not going to pick a system because of who\u2019s on an investor list,\u201d he told Bloomberg. \u201cThey\u2019re picking because they need it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=175\">CNN Host Laughs in Shock at Insane Trump Threat Statistic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Democratic Sens.

An era of cheap, disposable battlefield drones,\u201d Hegseth said in a December 2025 announcement of the initiative. \u201cWe cannot be left behind.
