Trump Directs Federal Agencies to 'Cease' Use of Anthropic Technology
Share this @internewscast.com

President Donald Trump has issued an order for federal agencies to “IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of” technology developed by AI leader Anthropic. He specified a “Six Month phase out period” for agencies currently utilizing products from the company.

In a statement shared on Truth Social, Trump criticized “the Leftwing nuts jobs at Anthropic,” accusing them of making a “DISASTROUS MISTAKE” by attempting to “STRONG-ARM the Department of War.” He further emphasized that the United States “WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS.”

Trump declared, “I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology.” He asserted, “We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!” He noted that there would be a “Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels.”

According to Lucas Nolan of News, Anthropic is currently involved in “contentious negotiations with the Pentagon.” The conflict reportedly revolves around Anthropic’s demand for specific safeguards regarding the application of its AI models by the Department of War.

In his post, Trump referenced a report indicating that Hegseth was “approaching a decision to terminate business connections with Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI system.” A “senior Pentagon official” informed Axios that Hegseth was contemplating “potentially classifying” Anthropic as a “supply chain risk.”

Trump’s post continued in part:

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.

The Leftwing nut jobs an Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wrote in a post on X, in which he tagged Anthropic and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

According to a report, Hegseth was “approaching a decision to terminate business connections with Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI system.” A “senior Pentagon official” explained to Axios that Hegseth was thinking about “potentially classifying” Anthropic “as a supply chain risk.”

“Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow,” Trump added in his post.

Amodei has previously issued a statement acknowledging that the Department of War has the right “to select contractors most aligned with their vision,” but that “given the substantial value” of the technology provided by Anthropic, he hopes “they reconsider.”
