oundation Industries chief strategic adviser Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, and company CEO Sankaet Pathak joined Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo to hail the U.S. as the “greatest economy in the world” after the company scored a $24 million Pentagon contract for its battlefield robotics project.
Eric Trump, who is an investor in Foundation and was appointed chief strategic adviser in March, appeared on Mornings with Maria to tout the deal and the company’s Phantom 2 technology, a humanoid robot it envisions could be deployed to the frontlines in war and in heavy industry contexts.
The company’s humanoid robot, Phantom, is currently undergoing testing in industrial environments including factories and dockyards in the U.S. and abroad, according to a Time profile from March but is often positioned as designed specifically for defence-related use.
Joining Fox Business on Thursday, the pair smiled as Bartiromo congratulated them on the contract.
After Pathak explained the technology in more detail, the host asked Eric Trump how he came to invest in the company. He replied:
Well, Sankaet’s been a friend of mine. I walked through his factory. I couldn’t believe what I saw, coming from hospitality the uses are unlimited, but Maria, you were just talking about China, you know we are America First. We have to win this race. We have to win alot of races right? I got involved with crypto in a very big way because we had to win that digital revolution. We have to win robotics in the United States of America.
You had a great segment two days ago, Maria, about the robot in Beijing that was literally running marathons and beating the fastest marathoners by, what, seven to eight minutes for a full marathon. These are in the very early days.
We better be winning this race in the United States of America. We’re the greatest economy in the world. And that’s what Sankaet is doing and he’s doing a phenomenal job. When you go up and you interact with these robots, and they fist pump you, they high five you, follow your commands. You bring in A.I. autonomy, it’s going to change industry, going to change military application, it’s going to change hospitality. The uses are unlimited and its a very beautiful thing.
Eric Trump did not get into the details of how the company acquired its contract with the Pentagon, but Time reported that Foundation Industries has already secured research contracts totalling $24 million with various branches of the U.S. military.
Among these, the outlet noted, is an SBIR Phase 3 award, a designation that effectively recognizes the firm as an approved supplier for military procurement.

I have posted this idea many times, but look at it as a political aspect and election help.
Trump should ask each Mayor in this country if they want Federal agents in their city. If NO, announce that no agents will enter except federal buildings security. Illegals, gang members, rapists, robbers will know they will be safe there.
As crime jumps a lot, voters MAY lean to RED.
I’m not arguing against the presence of feds in cities, but do you think they have much impact on violent crime? The FBI and the rest don’t focus on the crimes you described except going after illegals. Here in Miami, actual violent crimes by illegals are miniscule in the overall statistics.
This kind of thing is just par for the course for Trump, Inc. The government is just a feeding trough.
‘Greatest Economy in the World!’
And take a look at the ridiculous DOW in that pic.

“And all you can say is your lefty friends think he STARTED this war. Dumb. Just dumb.”
Look, dipshit, I’m reporting on reality, regarding people’s votes who count just as much as yours and mine. Try thinking strategically for a second instead of putting your head in the sand and fingers in your ears.
“I consider them low information voters.”
Their vote counts just as much as yours. Instead of writing them off, maybe try to see that Pres Trump hasn’t played this very well and is risking losing everything.
“Good for the country and good for Eric Trump.”
Is Eric Trump more qualified to make robots than Hunter Biden was to sell Ukrainian gas? The truth is neither would have those positions if it weren’t for their fathers’ political connections. It looks bad for both, and both are unforced errors.
Hopefully Eric doesn’t take up painting next!
Yes but the Democrats are absolutely hated right now. You really have to almost intentionally screw up to be in this position. Never underestimate the Republicans.
Noob? Are you kidding? I’ve been here over 25 years. In that time, though, the quality of the site as tanked dramatically. So many blind, uncritical, echo-chamber-needing fools here now. Some of the folks here these days are easily as bad as the robots on the left who can’t hold a conversation.
Normally I wouldn’t even respond to an ignorant fool like yourself, but since I happen to be in a bad mood already, it feels a little bit good to kick you around a little bit.
I agree that this is bad optics for Eric to do that. The Democrats will take advantage of this.
That would be strategic.
