Trump orders US government to cut ties with Anthropic
Original: Trump orders US government to cut ties with Anthropic; Hegseth declares supply chain 'risk'
President Trump has ordered the US government to sever its ties with AI company Anthropic, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth describing the firm's supply chain as a risk. The directive would bar federal agencies from contracting with the maker of the Claude chatbot. The move is drawing attention because Anthropic is one of America's leading artificial intelligence developers, raising questions about the government's AI procurement and security policy.
Why now: The US government cutting ties with a major AI company is a significant and unusual policy shift affecting federal technology procurement.
