According to Dynamica Beating monitoring, U.S. President Donald Trump indicated in an Axios interview that he no longer considers the artificial intelligence company Anthropic a national security threat. Just a week ago, he had identified Anthropic as a potential threat. The turning point in attitude came during the G7 summit luncheon, where Trump had a conversation with the sidelined Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.
Previously, the two had disagreed sharply within a week over the severity of the "jailbreak" security vulnerability in the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. As the negotiations broke down, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an export control order on June 12, intercepting the export of the Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models and requiring foreign tech personnel access approval. This caused an awkward situation for Amodei at the G7 luncheon, with his seat placed at the other end of the long table.
After the crisis escalated, the negotiations shifted towards the joint development of technical standards. The White House, Department of Commerce, National Cyber Director, and senior Anthropic officials engaged in multiple rounds of communication and sent security experts to Washington to build a technical benchmark framework for assessing the severity of large-scale model vulnerabilities and government intervention boundaries. Trump stated that Amodei quickly complied with the rectification requirements.
The change in attitude directly cleared the policy obstacles for Anthropic's IPO and expansion. As of June 2026, Anthropic's annualized recurring revenue has reached $47 billion, with a valuation of $965 billion, and has already submitted an IPO application. If it continues to be perceived as a security threat, Anthropic's IPO process will face significant policy uncertainties.
In terms of regulation, Trump reiterated that he does not want to restrict the domestic AI industry by shutting down or taking over companies, with the primary goal being to maintain a competitive edge against China. However, the option of utilizing emergency administrative powers for regulatory enforcement is not ruled out. Trump stated that it is currently unclear whether the Defense Production Act needs to be invoked, but he would still exercise that power when necessary.
