Goodwin – President Trump has ordered US government agencies to “immediately cease” using technology and services offered by Anthropic, and Secretary Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to designate Anthropic a “supply chain risk” to national security. Federal defense and civilian contractors may soon be prohibited from using Anthropic’s Claude in the performance of government prime or subcontracts. Additionally, federal defense and civilian contractors should prepare to assess whether current or future actions taken by the Trump administration may ultimately affect their ability to use Anthropic’s technology and services in the performance of commercial contracts or for internal use unrelated to a federal contract.
