WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2026 (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday he was ordering all federal agencies to phase out use of Anthropic technology after the company’s unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over artificial intelligence safety.

Trump’s comments came just over an hour before the Pentagon’s deadline for Anthropic to allow unrestricted military use of its AI technology or face consequences — and nearly 24 hours after CEO Dario Amodei said his company “cannot in good conscience accede” to the Defense Department's demands.

Anthropic didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment to Trump's remarks.
