Tech industry group expresses 'concern' to Pete Hegseth over supply chain risk label

Summary

The Information Technology Industry Council, whose members include Nvidia, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Anthropic, sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expressing concern over the designation of a U.S. company as a supply chain risk. The letter does not name Anthropic, which received the label after failing to reach terms with the Defense Department. The group argues that contract disputes should be resolved through negotiation or by selecting alternate providers, and that such emergency authorities are reserved for foreign adversaries.
