The Trump administration has banned US federal civilian agencies from using products or services of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, citing national security risks. The ban targets government use only, not general consumers.

  • Federal civilian agencies using DeepSeek models or services must stop and switch to alternatives.
  • AI vendors in US government supply chains need to audit and remove DeepSeek dependencies.
  • The ban does not target general commercial users; existing non-government use is unaffected.
