Trump Tells Axios Anthropic Is No Longer a National Security Threat — Reversal Comes Two Days After G7 Lunch With Amodei, Export Ban Still Active

President Trump told Axios he no longer considers Anthropic a national security threat, stating 'Well, not now, but a week ago, maybe' — a reversal that came two days after meeting CEO Dario Amodei at the G7 summit in France, where Amodei presented a framework for a US-led AI coalition among democracies. Despite Trump's public softening, the Commerce Department's June 12 export-control order suspending global access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 and the Pentagon's supply-chain risk designation remain formally in effect. The shift directly impacts Anthropic's October 2026 IPO trajectory at a $965 billion valuation, as model restoration is prerequisite to the company demonstrating its revenue runway to public investors.
