Trump Changes His View After G7 Meeting
Odaily reported that U.S. President Donald Trump said he no longer views Anthropic as a national security threat after meeting with the company’s chief executive, Dario Amodei, during the G7 summit. The statement marks a change in the administration’s assessment of Anthropic, although the broader discussion around large-language-model safety and government oversight remains active.
The dispute between the Trump administration and Anthropic had centered on the severity of “jailbreak” vulnerabilities in the Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models. The disagreement involved how those model weaknesses should be evaluated, how access to the systems should be controlled, and where the boundary should be drawn between company-led remediation and direct government intervention.
On June 12, the U.S. Commerce Department introduced export control measures that restricted access to the relevant models for foreign technical personnel. After those measures were issued, the White House, the U.S. Commerce Department, the Office of the National Cyber Director and Anthropic held multiple rounds of discussions focused on safety standards for large models.
Safety Framework and Emergency Powers
Those discussions also moved toward the creation of a technical framework for assessing model vulnerability risks and defining the limits of government intervention. According to Trump, Anthropic cooperated actively with the required remediation work. He also emphasized that the United States’ current priority remains maintaining its competitive advantage over China in artificial intelligence, and that he does not want to restrict the domestic AI industry by shutting down or taking over companies.
At the same time, Trump said that in necessary circumstances, he still would not rule out the use of emergency administrative powers, including the Defense Production Act, to regulate the sector. As of June 2026, Anthropic’s annual recurring revenue had reached $47 billion, its valuation was about $965 billion, and the company had submitted an application to go public.
