Trump Blacklists Anthropic Across All Federal Agencies
The White House is cutting off every federal agency from Anthropic's AI products, calling the company 'radical left.'
Anthropic just got the boot from the entire U.S. government.
President Trump has labeled the AI company a "radical left, woke company" and ordered every federal agency to stop using its products. It's the most consequential — and controversial — policy move the administration has made in the AI space to date.
The directive effectively blacklists one of the world's leading AI firms from government contracts and usage. Anthropic, the maker of Claude, has been a major player in the enterprise AI market and had been gaining traction across government applications.
The move sends a sharp signal to the broader AI industry: political alignment matters in Washington. For Anthropic, losing the federal government as a customer is a significant blow — both financially and reputationally.
No word yet on which AI alternatives agencies will turn to instead.
