U.S. President Donald Trump said he might have viewed artificial intelligence company ​Anthropic as a national security threat last week, but ‌he no longer does, according to an ​interview with “The Axios Show” published ⁠on Friday.

Senior Anthropic technical staff were scheduled to meet with Trump administration officials earlier this week to discuss ‌a dispute over foreign access to its most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and ‌Mythos 5. The company last week ‌disabled ⁠access for all users to those ⁠models after Trump ordered Anthropic to block foreign nationals from accessing them.

When ‌asked if he viewed Anthropic, or its CEO Dario Amodei, as a threat to national security, Trump said: “Well, not now, but a ‌week ago, maybe.”

Trump told Axios ​that Amodei responded to the administration’s export control directive “very quickly” and “responsibly.”

Trump ⁠and other G7 leaders met with tech bosses, including Amodei, at a summit in France ‌this week.

Trump did not rule out using emergency powers under the Defense Production Act against Anthropic, according to Axios.

“I have the power to use a lot of things,” Trump said of the DPA. “But I’m not ‌sure I have to do that.”

Asked to ​comment on Trump’s interview, an Anthropic spokesperson said: “We are grateful to the administration ⁠for their ongoing partnership in working to get ⁠this matter resolved as quickly as possible. We remain committed to working alongside them ‌towards our shared goals of protecting critical infrastructure and making sure the U.S. leads ​in AI.”
