US Commerce Secretary signals Anthropic mends ties with Trump administration

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated Anthropic is 'back on the right side' of the Trump administration, indicating improved relations after a judge ruled in favor of the AI firm in its dispute with the US Armed Forces over battlefield AI security. The comment follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's earlier move to block Anthropic from military contracts due to its refusal to comply with certain conditions. This signals a potential reversal in the administration's stance toward the company, though the specific terms of reconciliation remain unclear.
