Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had invoked national security legislation aimed at countering foreign supply chain threats and blacklisted Anthropic from doing business with the Pentagon after Mr. Amodei refused to allow Anthropic’s technology to be used in autonomous armed drones that can selectively kill targets without mass surveillance of…
