"The President week one, wanted us to take this issue seriously because of the national fury over the events over New Jersey," Senior Director of Counterterrorism on Trump administration's National Security Council, Sebastian Gorka, said of the new executive orders signed Friday.

The orders will also reduce the United States' reliance on foreign countries for drone and other aviation technology, officials added.
"These executive orders will accelerate American innovation in drones, flying cars and supersonic aircraft and chart the future of America's skies for years to come," Kratsios said. "Our message is simple. American innovation belongs in American aerospace."
