Trump to host Anthropic CEO for private White House dinner: Everything to know

President Donald Trump is set to host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for a private dinner at the White House bringing the president with one of the central figures in artificial intelligence.

The primary motive behind the dinner is to initiate a direct meeting with the two to ease tensions between Anthropic and the administration where officials and allies have experienced enduring strain.

Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson also plan to meet prominent AI CEOs at the White House. Anthropic’s relationship with the administration has been on shaky ground all year with warning signs escalating rapidly in recent times.

A White House official said: “ President Trump has been clear: America will lead the world in Super Intelligence, while protecting American consumers

“We will drive innovation, strengthen American competitiveness, and ensure this transformative technology works for the American people.”

Furthermore, in an administration that is deeply aligned with the president's moods and personal relationships, a sit-down with Trump at the White House is an invaluable asset for any company.
