US EditionTrump Orders U.S. Agencies to Stop Using Anthropic AI Following Pentagon Dispute
- On Friday, President Donald Trump ordered every federal agency to immediately cease using Anthropic's technology, allowing a six-month phase-out for the Department of War and others.

- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly sided with Anthropic, and a coalition of labor groups representing over 700,000 workers urged support, making the feud a proxy for AI governance battles.
