Drone stocks erupted higher yesterday after reports surfaced that the Trump administration is considering directing government funding toward domestic drone manufacturers.

President Donald Trump‘s administration has made a habit of taking equity stakes in American industries it deems strategically critical — Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC), rare earth mining companies like MP Materials (NYSE:MP) and others have already seen the government show up as a part-owner rather than just a customer.
