President Donald Trump tells Axios that he no longer views Anthropic as a national security threat, reversing a more aggressive stance taken by the White House in recent months. Multiple outlets report that Trump’s change in view comes after meetings connected to a G7 summit in France, where he met tech leaders including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Reporting also links the shift to Anthropic’s response to a recent U.S. export-control directive. Earlier in the month, the White House ordered Anthropic to obtain government approval before allowing foreign individuals, companies, or nations to access its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models, reflecting concerns about foreign access to advanced technology. Quartz and other summaries describe Trump as saying Anthropic responded “very quickly” to the directive. NDTV adds that the policy shift follows concerns about foreign access and recent U.S. export-control restrictions. Overall, the accounts agree that Trump’s comments mark a notable downgrade of Anthropic’s threat status, while the government’s prior approval requirement and export-control context remain part of the narrative.
