The U.S. Treasury Department will end all use of Anthropic products in the latest standoff between the federal government and the artificial intelligence (AI) company.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the move on March 2, saying the ban applies across the department and is part of a broader federal move by President Donald Trump directing agencies to stop using the company’s technology.
