By Steve Holland ‌and Courtney ​Rozen

EVIAN-LES-BAINES, ​June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that ‌negotiations with artificial intelligence company Anthropic are "going ⁠fine."

Trump made the comment to reporters at the ‌G7 summit after ‌a meeting between leaders and tech bosses including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

Anthropic is ​in a dispute with the Trump administration over foreign access to its most ⁠advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The ​company on Friday disabled access for all users to those models after ​Trump ordered Anthropic to ‌block foreign nationals from accessing them.

The meeting with G7 leaders and ⁠tech bosses was the first time that Trump has met with Amodei in public ⁠since the order.

The Trump administration has said it has "national ​security concerns" with Anthropic's most advanced models. A Trump spokesperson declined to provide more detail about ‌the discussions with the company. Anthropic's spokesperson did not immediately ‌respond to a request for comment.
