So, as I read the article, it talks about this policy affecting foreign made drones, and not those made in the USA.  This sounds really like a push to have more products made in the USA, more than just a ban on drones per se.   

This comment may become political, but I am going to say it..... This is in line with what President Donald Trump has been pushing across the whole economy ..... having items produced in the USA, as opposed to buying products from overseas. Why is anyone surprised that Trump wants to implement this policy on drones as well.
