President Donald Trump on Friday excoriated AI company Anthropic over a dispute with the Pentagon regarding its terms of service..

The AI company supplies its technology to the Pentagon, but has maintained ethical concerns over unrestricted use for military purposes, according to the Associated Press. Trump, for his part, ultimately decided to discontinue use of the company's products altogether, asserted that the Department of War would not be subjected to the whims of a private company.

"THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS!," Trump declared. "That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military."

"The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution," he added. "Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY. "
 
"Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology," Trump ordered. "We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow."

The company is known for its AI chatbot Claude.
