Government demands breakup w/ Claude, threatens 'Full Power' as leverage
A formal-style statement attributed to President Trump threatening federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's technology immediately, with a six-month phase-out period for the Department of Defense, and threatening legal consequences against Anthropic if they don't cooperate during the transition. The statement frames the issue as government autonomy vs. an 'out-of-control, Radical Left AI company.'
Extracted text:
Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic's technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic's products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow.
WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
