Lawmakers want US to address risks posed by Chinese agriculture drones
WASHINGTON -A dozen U.S. lawmakers on Friday urged the Biden administration to address the use of Chinese manufactured agriculture drones, saying their use on American farms poses national security risks.
DJI, the Chinese Embassy in Washington and the agencies did not immediately comment. DJI said previously it strictly follows applicable data privacy protection laws and gives drone users"full control over the data they generate." Stefanik called on the USDA and the cybersecurity agency to"take immediate action to mitigate the risks of Chinese-manufactured drones to our agriculture industry." She has proposed legislation seeking to bar new DJI drones from operating within the United States.
