DJI Appeals to US Government in Final Bid to Avoid Sales Ban

Chinese drone maker DJI is making a final appeal to U.S. officials. The company is urging a full security review to prevent a potential ban on its sales in the United States. This effort comes as U.S. lawmakers consider legislation that could block DJI drones from the American market. The proposed law cites national security concerns over data collection. DJI argues that a formal review process would prove its drones are safe. The company states it has never shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities. It also highlights that its products are widely used by American public safety agencies and critical industries. A ban would significantly impact the commercial and consumer drone market in the U.S. DJI holds the largest share of this market. Industry groups warn that removing its drones could disrupt operations for many American businesses. The U.S. government has not yet announced a decision on the security review. The outcome will determine the future availability of DJI’s popular drones for American customers.
