The U.S. Commerce Department’s secretary says Anthropic is “back on the right side” with the Trump administration. Howard Lutnick made the remark in the context of the U.S. government’s relationship with major AI companies, according to reporting cited by outlets.
The accounts converge on Lutnick’s statement but differ in how they frame its sourcing. One outlet attributes the comment to the secretary directly, while another reports the claim through a reference to Axios. The coverage does not provide additional detail on what specifically changed in the relationship or how Anthropic’s position differs from its prior stance with the administration.
