Investing.com - The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced on Monday that, following President Donald Trump’s directive, the department will cease using all products from Anthropic, including the Claude platform.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced this termination in a statement, saying it was done in accordance with the president’s orders. Bessent stated that the American people should trust that every tool used by the government serves the public interest, and added that under Trump’s leadership, no private company can influence national security.

This announcement came after Trump instructed all federal agencies to immediately stop using Anthropic technology. Trump said the company attempted to force the Department of Defense to comply with its terms of service rather than the Constitution, which he called a mistake.

Trump stated that the company’s actions are endangering American lives, putting the military at risk, and threatening national security. He announced a six-month phased withdrawal period for agencies using Anthropic products at various levels, including the Department of Defense.
