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 slower advanced-model development and more government oversight, drawing a sharp Truth Social rebuke from Trump, and a federal appeals court on Friday upheld the Defense Department’s supply-chain-risk designation against Anthropic after collapsed Pentagon talks over military use of its models.
