On the morning of February 27 local time, Trump issued a statement via his Truth Social account, instructing all U.S. federal agencies to immediately discontinue the use of technology from AI company Anthropic and granting a six-month transition period for agencies such as the Department of Defense. Trump angrily denounced Anthropic's top executives as extreme left-wing fanatics, accusing them of making catastrophic mistakes. Previously, the Pentagon had demanded that Anthropic allow unrestricted military use of its AI models, but the request was rejected.
