Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was set to join President Donald Trump for a private dinner at the White House on Sunday, the first one-on-one meeting between the two, CNBC confirmed, after Amodei missed Thursday’s state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping because of a scheduling conflict. A White House official said Trump has been clear America will lead in “Super Intelligence” while protecting consumers, driving innovation and strengthening competitiveness. The sit-down comes amid strained ties: Amodei recently urged the industry to slow advanced-model development, drawing a sharp Truth Social rebuke from Trump, and a federal appeals court panel in Washington on Friday upheld the Pentagon’s designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk after talks over military use of its models collapsed.
