The Trump administration is advancing plans to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.

The news was confirmed on Saturday, citing a White House official, after the US President Donald Trump raised the prospect on Monday.

Restoring the Department of War name for the government’s largest department would likely require immediate congressional action but the White House is looking for other methods to implement the change, the report adds.

The White House gave zero details but underscored Trump’s comments this week emphasizing the American military offensive capabilities. “As the president mentioned, our military should be focused more on the offense, not just defense. This is why he has prioritized warfighters at the Pentagon instead of the DEI and woke ideology. Stay Tuned!”- the White House rep added.

Trump first raised the idea of the rebranding for the Defense Department as the Department of War while talking with reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, adding how it just sounded so much better.

“It was once called the Department of War, and it had so much stronger sound,”- Trump explained. We want defense, but we also want offense too’- the post continued. They concluded by mentioning that, as the Department of War, they won everything, and that’s why they are now going back to that.
