The Pentagon classifies Anthropic a supply chain risk and is appealing a ruling with vigor to reinstate the it's right to decline doing business with them.

I don't know what part of this you guys are having trouble with, but it doesn't get a whole hell of a lot more emphatic on "what the US Government thinks" than who the Pentagon is in court with to avoid doing business with that party.

Mr. Hegseth is the representative of the administration in the AI usage policy of the largest bureaucratic organization in the history of civilization. He has emphatically rejected at least one black box American AI megalab and President Trump has endorsed this action on Truth Social.

The government's stated position is not what you among other commenters are stating or implying as the government's position.

OpenAI has ties to the government (via political donations) which likely will be getting that 5% stake too, so it is not just for Anthropic that the US could ban Chinese models. Consider, why wouldn't they when they already were considering it?

And you mention Hegseth but it was Lutnick at the Department of Commerce who banned Fable, so there are many competing parties in the government. Again, it is not just Anthropic who'd benefit from a Chinese model ban.
