US President Donald Trump has ordered every federal agency to “immediately” stop using technology developed by AI firm Anthropic. In a scathing post on Truth Social, Trump branded the company’s leadership “Leftwing nut jobs”, escalating the growing standoff between the White House and the Pentagon’s AI suppliers.
“THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS!” Trump wrote. He insisted that decisions about how America wages war “belong to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF”, accusing Anthropic of trying to “STRONG-ARM the Department of War” into following its terms of service “instead of our Constitution”.
