Trump Administration Signals It Won't Restore G7 Access to Mythos 5 as June 15 Anthropic Talks Collapse

Axios·high signal

Anthropic's senior leaders met Trump administration officials on June 15 but reached no resolution, leaving Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline for foreign nationals under the Commerce Department's export-control directive; an official called restoring G7 access 'completely illogical.' At the G7 summit, Canadian PM Mark Carney cited the freeze as proof of the danger of overreliance on a few American AI providers, elevating 'digital sovereignty' to a head-of-state agenda item. This is the policy-escalation beat past the initial June 12-14 shutdown: it is now a diplomatic standoff, not just an enterprise outage.
