00:02Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reaffirmed Anthropics' national security risk classification,
00:08rejecting Anthropics' request to reconsider its national security risk designation,
00:13according to Politico. The decision allows a D.C. Circuit Court three-judge panel to
00:18rule on the Pentagon's authority over domestic companies. Hegseth clarified that the Pentagon's
00:22supply chain risk concerns about Claude were rooted in loss of trust and pre-deployment risks,
00:28not the ability to alter the model after deployment, allowing the case to move forward.
00:33Anthropic disputed this, saying Hegseth's assessment was based on a misunderstanding.
00:38President Trump has directed the Pentagon to remove Anthropic from its systems by August,
00:42but recently suggested the relationship was improving after a White House meeting with
00:47CEO Dario Amadei. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
