Drone maker looking to build in US

DJI, the world's largest drone maker, rebutted US lawmakers' data security concerns about the company's products on Monday, saying it does not collect or share customer data. The company also unveiled plans to start assembling drones in the United States.

DJI wants to use a warehouse it owns in Cerritos, California, to assemble its Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual drones, hoping the move will make it easier for some US government agencies to make purchases.

If the drones are made there, they would qualify for sale to the government under the US Trade Agreements Act, which requires government agencies to purchase US-made products in certain categories, Reuters reported.
