=US adds drone maker Autel Robotics to trade blacklist==

Republic lawmakers John Moolenaar, who chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and Elise Stefanik, the force behind a potential DJI ban in the US, released the below statement following news of Autel being blacklisted by the Commerce Department:

Following our advocacy, the Commerce Department added malign Chinese controlled drone maker, Autel, to its government blacklist. No American should support companies like DJI and Autel that are arming Communist China and have the ability to spy on American soil. While this is a strong first step, the Senate must now take up and pass the House-passed Countering CCP Drones Act and ban the introduction of new CCP-linked drones from American skies.
