Hegseth labels Anthropic a 'supply chain risk,' which the company challenges

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk, a move that could prevent US military vendors from working with the company.
Meanwhile, President Trump has ordered all US agencies to stop using Anthropic technology after the company's unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over AI safety.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has said his company "cannot in good conscience accede" to the Defense Department's requirement that it allow unrestricted military use of its AI technology.
Trump's order came just before a deadline for Anthropic to cooperate.
Anthropic says it will challenge Hegseth's label in court. It said that "designating Anthropic as a supply chain risk would be an unprecedented action — one historically reserved for US adversaries, never before publicly applied to an American company.”
