US President Donald Trump
Trump wants pentagon renamed: US President Donald Trump says the Pentagon should be renamed to the ‘Department of War’. Trump has said that America does not just need defense but also needs an attack and that is why the name should be changed. Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that this change could be announced in the next few weeks. He said that the Congress will not be approved in this and we are just going to do it.
What did the trump say?
In a joint press conference with South Korean President Li J Muung, Trump said, “When we won the First World War and Second World War, it was called the war department, and for me, this is really that is this.” He added, “Everyone likes that when it was a war department, we had an incredible history of victory, then we changed it to the Defense Department.”
President Harry Truman played a big role
Trump also rejected critics who argue that this change could be symbolic. He said, “I don’t just want to become the Department of Defense. We also want to be aggressive.” The war department was formed in the US in 1789. Till 1947 it was known by this name. After this, President Harry Truman changed its name to the Security Department.
‘We also want an attack’
During this time the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also with Trump. Trump said, “So you started beating Peat as ‘Safety Department’ and I did not like it. Are we security? Why are we security? So earlier it was called ‘War Department’ and it was a strong name.” Trump further said that this step is not just symbolic, “We don’t just want security. We also want an attack.”
