Description
The Defense Department is investing $1.1 billion to buy hundreds of thousands of drones. NBC News senior technology reporter Jane Lytvynenko explains why the Pentagon is so focused on stimulating domestic drone production right now amid competition from China. Then, NBC News senior White House reporter Peter Nicholas shares what he heard from farmers in Iowa, who are struggling with higher prices for diesel and fertilizer because of the Iran war — and whether it’s changing their feelings about President Donald Trump and the GOP heading into the midterms.
