Anthropic CEO to meet Trump after missing state dinner
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei will have a private dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House on Sunday, marking their first one-on-one meeting after Amodei missed Thursday's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meeting comes as Anthropic prepares for a potential blockbuster IPO and seeks to ease tensions with the Trump administration. Amodei recently drew Trump's ire by urging AI industry slowdowns and more government oversight, prompting a critical Truth Social post from the president. Anthropic's strained relationship includes a Pentagon supply chain risk designation upheld by a federal appeals court on Friday, following failed negotiations over military use of its models. The company is suing to reverse the blacklisting and may seek further appeals.
