🇺🇸🇮🇱 Eric Trump-backed company in talks to supply Israel with 1,000 humanoid robots for Gaza The Phantom MK1 robots are being considered for deployment in Gaza's tunnels, where they could detect trip wires, handle explosives and potentially carry out combat missions, the Financial Times reports. The manufacturer, US startup Foundation Future Industries, is holding preliminary negotiations with the Israeli military. Eric Trump, the US president's son, is an early investor and chief strategic adviser to the company, which, together with another acquired business, has received more than $70 million in US military contracts and funding. The negotiations have drawn attention to potential conflicts of interest involving the Trump family's financial ties to the defense industry. Foundation denies that Eric Trump helped secure government contracts. The Israeli military and Defense Ministry declined to comment on the reported negotiations. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
