The United States will add eight more Chinese companies to its Investment Blacklist, including DJI. Also known as the U.S. Treasury's "Chinese military-industrial complex companies" blacklist, it would prevent any U.S. investment in a company on the list.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has called for the addition of DJI drones to the FCC Covered List, which could prevent the company from selling its products in the United States.
DJI has found itself on a list of companies that the United States Department of Commerce has blocked from being able to conduct business with U.S.-based companies. American companies cannot export parts to DJI, and it's possible that U.S. consumers will find it harder to purchase DJI products.
Yesterday, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior officially signed an order temporarily grounding all Chinese-made drones in the government's fleet, solidifying a 'pause' that was first announced in October and drawing a heated response from market leader DJI.
