US President Donald Trump renames Pentagon the Department of War, says ‘it’s really about winning’
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the US Department of Defense as a “Ministry of War, and when the authorities tried to emphasize the role of Pentagon to prevent conflict II. He returned to a title until after World War II.
Mr. Trump’s movement represents his last effort by re -marking the US army, which decided to restore the original names of military bases after the racial justice protests in 2020 after the racial justice protests in the Washington DC city center.
Mr. Trump also challenged traditional norms on the local deployment of the US Armed Forces and created military regions along the Mexico and Southern US border to assist a immigration pressure and distribute troops in cities such as Los Angeles and Washington.
According to a White House Information Form, Emir Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and AST would authorize the authorities to use secondary titles such as “War Secretary” and “Deputy Secretary of War” in official correspondence and public communication.
“This is a very important change, because this is an attitude, Tr Trump said while signing the executive order at a ceremony at the Oval Office.
“This is really about winning.”
The movement will ask Hegset to recommend the legislative and executive actions to make it permanent.
Department name changes are rare and required congress approval. Nevertheless, Trump questioned whether the Republicans had subtle majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, but from the Congress, he questioned whether he really needed a head.
Two Republican senators, Mike Lee from Utah and Rick Scott from Florida and Greg Steube from Florida, a republican house, launched a legislation on Friday to change.
The defense secretary Pete Hegseth, who was introduced by Trump as a war secretary, cheered the change he has been defending for a long time.
“We will continue to the crime, not only defense, not only defense, not a warm legality,” hegseth said.
The US Department of Defense, Congress II. After World War II, he was called the war department until 1949, when he united the Army, Navy and Air Force. Historians say that the name was partially chosen to indicate that the United States focused on preventing conflict in the nuclear age.
It will be expensive to change the name again, and it will require update not only by the authorities in the Pentagon, but also by worldwide military installations.
Former president Joe Biden’s effort to rename nine bases, honoring the confederation and confederation leaders, will cost the army for $ 39 million (A60 million). Hegseth reversed this effort in 2025 before.
Critics, the planned name change is not only expensive, but a unnecessary distraction for the Pentagon, he said.
Hegseth said that changing the name was “not only about words – about warrior morality”.
