Speaking in Qatar, former President Trump criticized U.S. defense contractors for producing drones at exorbitant prices—contrasting them with Iran’s $35K–$40K drones, which he called fast, cheap, and deadly. Trump recounted asking an American company to replicate Iran’s affordable drones, only to be presented with a $41 million model. His remarks spotlight rising defense spending and Iran’s rapid drone advancement, which has positioned the country as a major military force in West Asia. Trump’s comments reignite debate over U.S. defense efficiency, cost, and competitiveness.

00:00And we have a lot of it now. It's under order.
00:04And we're coming up with new systems, and we're coming up with a new system of drones.
00:09Because drones are really, if you look at the war that's going on, it's horrible,
00:13but we are watching it very closely, and drones really seem to be taking over that war.
00:18And so I hope you're going to come up with some nice inexpensive engine for a drone
00:22so that we don't have to spend so much.
00:25I asked one of the companies, I said, I want a lot of drones.
00:28And, you know, in the case of Iran, they make a good drone.
00:33And they make them for $35,000, $40,000.
00:36So I said to this company, I want to see it.
00:38They came in two weeks later with a drone that cost $41 million.
00:41I said, that's not what I'm talking about, $41 million.
00:44I'm talking about something for $35,000, $40,000 where you send thousands of them out.
00:48And that's a great way.
00:49And they're very good, too, and fast and deadly.
00:52Horrible, actually.
00:54When you look at what's happening with Russia and Ukraine, the drone is killing tremendous numbers of people.
01:01You hide behind a tree, and the drone comes down, and it circles you with fire.
01:06You don't have a chance.
01:06The tree comes down also, by the way.
01:08It's so intense.
01:09I mean, you see these trees being knocked down like they're being sawed down by a top-of-the-line timberman,
01:16timberman, like, you know who, Sean?
01:20And we have a lot of it now.
