Court rules Trump can blacklist Anthropic for refusing to enable Claude features

Friday, September 25, 2026


A federal court ruled that President Trump may restrict Anthropic's federal contracts based on the company's refusal to modify Claude's safety features. The court determined that artificially constrained AI models could impair military operations. Anthropic had declined to alter Claude's built-in limitations on certain capabilities. The ruling applies to future contract eligibility but does not address existing agreements.
