Trump administration is not giving up on labeling Anthropic a ‘national security risk’

The Trump administration has appealed a federal judge’s ruling that blocked the Pentagon from labelling Anthropic a supply chain risk. The Justice Department filed the notice on Thursday, with the Ninth Circuit setting an April 30 deadline for formal arguments. The dispute stems from a collapsed $200 million defense contract over Anthropic’s refusal to let its Claude AI be used in autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance.
