US Commerce Secretary Says Anthropic Back on 'Right Side' with Trump Administration

The US Commerce secretary stated that Anthropic has returned to the 'right side' with the Trump administration. This declaration comes amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny of AI companies. The move signals a potential shift in policy toward more lenient oversight for Anthropic.

The US Commerce secretary made the announcement on September 2, 2026, during a press briefing. The statement was reported by both The Star and Reuters, though neither outlet provided additional context or details about the basis for the claim. The 'right side' reference is likely a reference to alignment with the Trump administration's regulatory approach, which has been more favorable to tech companies compared to previous administrations.
