Vance said confidently on Thursday that it would not turn into the kind of conflict the vice president has harshly criticized. “The idea that we’re going to be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no end in sight — there is no chance that will happen,” he told The Post in an interview as he returned to Washington from an event in Wisconsin, effectively pushing back against predictions by some foreign policy experts that there would be no easy out if America got involved in a bigger conflict with Iran.

Similarly to Europeans, governments across the Middle East condemned Iran’s strikes on Arab neighbors while staying silent on the U.S. military action.

President Trump on Friday directed federal agencies to stop using technology from San Francisco artificial intelligence company Anthropic, escalating a high-profile clash between the AI startup and the Pentagon over safety. In a Friday post on the social media site Truth Social, Trump described the company as “radical left” and “woke.”“We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again!” Trump said.

Anthropic also offers an AI assistant for consumers and makes money from paid subscriptions as well as contracts.
