That is misinformation. It would be essentially a death sentence for a company like Anthropic, which is targeting enterprise business development. No one who wants to work with the US government would be able to have Claude on their critical path.

"Misinformation" does not mean "facts I don't like".

Yes. That is what the rule means. Or at least "the department of war". It's not clear to me that this applies to the whole government.

What an absurd stance. So this is okay because the arbitrary rule they applied to retaliate says so?

Again, they could have just chosen another vendor for their two projects of mass spying on American citizens and building LLM-powered autonomous killer robots. But instead, they actively went to torch the town and salt the earth, so nothing else may grow.

So other parts of the government are allowed to work with companies that have been determined to be "supply chain risks"? That sounds unlikely.
