Trump hosts Anthropic CEO Amodei for private White House dinner in first one-on-one meeting
First reported by Axios and confirmed by CNBC and TechCrunch, President Trump dined privately with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at the White House on Sunday evening — two days after a federal appeals panel upheld the Pentagon's "supply-chain risk" designation of Anthropic.
Why it matters
US President Donald Trump dined privately with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at the White House on Sunday evening, September 27. The news was first reported by Axios and confirmed by CNBC (7:13 p.m. ET), with TechCrunch confirming as well. Sources say it is the first one-on-one meeting between the two leaders.
Full report
Amodei was notably absent from Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg were all photographed with officials. A source familiar with the matter said Amodei had a scheduling conflict, so Trump invited him to a private dinner instead.
The meeting comes at a tense moment for Anthropic: on Friday, September 25, a D.C. federal appeals panel upheld the Pentagon's "supply-chain risk" designation of the company; earlier this month, Amodei publicly urged the AI industry to slow the development of the most advanced models and strengthen oversight, drawing a direct rebuke from Trump on Truth Social.
Trump confirmed the dinner to reporters while golfing near Chicago, saying he would discuss Amodei's slowdown push — but made his own position clear: "My attitude is let it rip, win." A White House official told CNBC: "President Trump has been clear: America will lead the world in Super Intelligence, while protecting American consumers."
