"The American people deserve confidence that every tool in government serves the public interest, and under President Trump no private company will ever dictate the terms of our national security."
"The dispute between Anthropic and the Trump administration began with Anthropic refusing to allow Claude to be used for Department of Defense missions involving mass surveillance of Americans or to guide autonomous weapons. In response, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth designated Anthropic as a supply-chain risk to national security."
"GSA stands with the President in rejecting attempts to politicize work dedicated to America's national security. Building resilient, secure, and scalable AI solutions demands alignment, trust, and a willingness to make hard calls."
Federal agencies including Treasury, State, and Health and Human Services have begun removing Anthropic products, particularly Claude, from their operations following President Trump's call to halt use of the company's technology. The conflict originated when Anthropic refused to allow Claude for Department of Defense missions involving mass surveillance or autonomous weapons guidance. In response, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth designated Anthropic as a supply-chain risk to national security. The General Services Administration committed to removing Anthropic services from the GSA marketplace and USAi program, eliminating access from the Multiple Award Schedule. The government has a six-month transition period to phase out Anthropic from federal workflows.
