Rep. Mike Waltz urges stronger U.S. drone defense after sightings in multiple states.

Rep. Mike Waltz, President-elect Trump's pick for national security adviser, has highlighted gaps in U.S. airspace security due to recent drone sightings in New Jersey and other states. While the Biden administration downplays these sightings, Waltz calls for greater transparency and urges the development of an "Iron Dome" system to protect against drones. Lawmakers like Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have also called for more resources and clearer communication regarding the issue. The FBI is leading the investigation, having received thousands of tips from the public.
