President Donald Trump said Friday that he was banning federal agencies from using the services of AI company Anthropic.
The declaration came after months of increasingly heated rhetoric between the Defense Department and Anthropic over the military’s use of the company’s systems. Anthropic had sought stronger guarantees that the Pentagon would not use its AI systems for autonomous weapons or mass domestic surveillance.
“I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Shortly afterward, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on X that he would direct the Defense Department to label Anthropic a “Supply-Chain Risk to National Security.”
The move, usually reserved for foreign adversaries, would bar any military contractor or supplier from doing business with Anthropic. Both Hegseth and Trump announced agencies would have six months to phase out any existing federal business with Anthropic.
