US orders federal agencies to remove China’s DeepSeek AI from their systems
This is the first major enforcement action against a Chinese AI company in civilian government. It signals the administration is serious about data sovereignty, not just border-level restrictions. If you're selling into federal agencies or building on top of third-party AI services, audit your supply chain for geographic risk. The order affects civilian agencies, not defense contractors, which means this is about information security, not just military advantage.
