Despite the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, the broader Trump administration is warming to the company: the White House described a meeting between CEO Dario Amodei, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as "productive and constructive," with discussion of cybersecurity collaboration and AI safety, according to Axios. An administration source told reporters that "every agency" except the Department of Defense wants access to Anthropic's technology. The Pentagon dispute over safeguards for autonomous weapons use is still being litigated, but the White House engagement signals a split between DOD and the rest of the executive branch over the company's status.
