U.S. President Donald J. Trump directed all federal agencies to cease using AI technology from Anthropic following disputes with the Pentagon regarding military applications.

Anthropic's CEO expressed concerns over military use, while the Pentagon plans to designate the company as a supply-chain risk, impacting its federal contracts. Agencies have six months to transition away from Anthropic products, with potential civil and criminal consequences for non-compliance. This directive may reshape federal AI partnerships and influence U.S. defense policy.
