Summary
The U.S. government, under President Donald Trump's order, has directed federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's AI products. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth designated Anthropic as a national security 'supply-chain risk'—a classification typically applied to foreign adversaries—following a deadline for the company to comply with Pentagon terms. This designation prohibits defense contractors from using Anthropic's AI technology. The company disputes the designation as 'legally unsound.'
