Appeals Court Rejects Anthropic Challenge to Supply-Chain Risk Designation

shiringhaffary · x · 2026-09-26

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to reject Anthropic's challenge to the Trump administration's designation of the company as a supply-chain risk to US national security — a win for the government.

However, an earlier ruling by a California judge that lifted the government ban appears to remain in place for now. The dispute traces back to failed contract negotiations over the military's use of Claude, which sparked a high-stakes legal fight between Anthropic and the administration.
