Trump Alters View on Anthropic's National Security Status

AI Summary

President Donald Trump stated that he no longer considers Anthropic (ANTH) a national security threat, having changed his stance from the previous week. Anthropic raised concerns over access to its AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, due to a directive from the Trump administration to block foreign access. Trump noted that Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, responded quickly to the administration's export control directive. Trump also mentioned the possibility of using emergency powers under the Defense Production Act, but was uncertain about the need for such actions.
