Trump: 'i’m Going To Give You A Report On Drones About One Day Into The Administration'

President-elect Trump is vowing to provide the public with transparency on the recent uptick in mystery drone sightings, suggesting information would be available "about one day" into his second term.

“I’m going to give you a report on drones about one day into the administration," Trump told a room of Republican governors at his Mar-a-Lago resort Thursday evening. "Because I think it’s ridiculous that they are not telling you about what is going on with the drones."

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.) also noted frustrations with the lack of clarity from the federal government on the frequent drone flyovers.

“We are home to the largest naval base in the world and Quantico and we house a lot of the seal teams and have a huge national security infrastructure,” Youngkin told reporters. 

“And now, for two years running, we have had drone incursion over secure airspace, and we still don’t know why," he said. "I think that’s absolutely unacceptable.”

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) also highlighted drone activity over the state’s nuclear reactors, which he argued could open the potential for espionage and terrorism.

“We brought that to the attention of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and we’ve been asking the FAA to give these states the ability to mitigate these drones and it’s sitting on some bureaucrats desk and that’s real,” Landry said Thursday.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) also shared his disappointment with the lack of knowledge about the origins of the unmanned aircraft as well.

The back-and-forth comes after reports of drone sightings in New York and New Jersey skyrocketed late last year. The White House and Defense Department officials have offered little information but said there is no reason to believe they pose a threat to national security or are being operated by foreign entities.

Officials have suggested that the sightings include a combination of “lawful” drones, other aircraft and stars.

Trump responded to the sightings, calling for the drones to be shot down and arguing that the Biden administration just wanted to keep the public "in suspense."

“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don't think so!" he wrote on Truth Social in mid-December. "Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, [shoot] them down!!!"

Shooting down the aircraft, however, could pose a safety risk, according to experts.
