Odaily reported that U.S. President Donald Trump said he no longer views Anthropic as a national security threat after meeting the company’s chief executive, Dario Amodei, during the G7 summit. The statement marks a change in tone after prior disagreements between the administration and Anthropic over the severity of “jailbreak” vulnerabilities in the Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models.
Export controls followed the model-security dispute
The U.S. Commerce Department introduced export-control measures on June 12, restricting access to the relevant models for foreign technical personnel. After those measures were issued, the White House, the Commerce Department, the Office of the National Cyber Director and Anthropic held multiple rounds of discussions on safety standards for large language models.
According to the report, the parties also began building a technical framework to evaluate the risk posed by model vulnerabilities and to define the boundaries of government intervention. That framework is aimed at addressing how security risks are assessed while clarifying when and how the government should step in.
Trump said Anthropic cooperated actively with the requested remediation steps. He also emphasized that the United States’ current priority remains maintaining its competitive advantage over China in artificial intelligence. For that reason, he said he does not want to restrict the domestic AI industry by shutting down or taking over companies.
Emergency powers remain on the table
At the same time, Trump said he would not rule out using emergency executive powers, including the Defense Production Act, for regulatory purposes if necessary. The remark indicates that while the administration has stepped back from labeling Anthropic a national security threat, it is still preserving tools for direct government action in the AI sector.
As of June 2026, Anthropic’s annual recurring revenue had reached USD 47 billion, while its valuation stood at about USD 965 billion. The company has also filed an application to go public, according to Axios.
