A Florida-based drone company backed by Donald Trump Jr. has reportedly won its largest-ever contract from the Pentagon.
The Financial Times reported on Friday that Unusual Machines had been awarded a contract to manufacture 3,500 drone motors and other parts for the U.S. Army. The company said it expected the U.S. military to order an additional 20,000 parts next year.
Unusual Machines CEO Allan Evans declined to state the value of the contract.
According to a disclosure, the president's son owns 331,580 shares of the company, which are valued at around $4 million.
"Don has never communicated with anyone in the Administration on behalf of Unusual Machines or about the contract in question," a company spokesperson told the Financial Times. "His advisory role with them has nothing to do with interfacing with the government."
