Lawmakers want U.S. to address risks posed by Chinese agriculture drones

A dozen Republican U.S. lawmakers urged the administration of President Joe Biden on Friday to address the use of Chinese-manufactured agriculture drones, saying their use on American farms poses national security risks. Elise Stefanik, Ashley Hinson and John Moolenaar, who chairs a select committee on China, asked the Agriculture Department and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to detail the administration's efforts to address risks posed by aerosol-dispensing drones. The lawmakers asked for a briefing by Sept. 30, citing the large number of drones produced by Chinese drone manufacturer DJI as a security concern.
