Trump Considers Renaming Defense Department to 'Department of War'

The article discusses the possibility of renaming the U.S. Department of Defense to the Department of War, a move supported by some officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and former President Trump, who prefers the historical name for its stronger connotation. The change would require congressional approval, and it remains uncertain if it will happen amid ongoing military and government restructuring. Trump has previously referred to the department as the 'Secretary of War' and has expressed a desire to revert to the older name, which was used until 1947.
