President Donald Trump signed executive orders Friday to bolster US drone capabilities, including strengthening counter-drone tools ahead of major sporting events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics that will be hosted in the country.

President Trump also eased restrictions on commercial drone flights and called for the revival of supersonic flights for nonmilitary aircraft.

President Donald Trump signed three executive orders Friday regarding the use of drones and other aviation technologies. White House officials said the orders are in direct response to a string of bizarre sightings along the East Coast last year.
