Trump ‘bans’ Anthropic, gives it same label that China’s Huawei has in US since year 2018

Anthropic is locked in a high-stakes standoff with the Trump administration after refusing to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to its Claude AI model. The company drew a line at mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. In response, Trump ordered a government-wide ban on Anthropic’s technology, while Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth designated it a “supply chain risk”—a label typically reserved for foreign adversaries.
