Donald Trump made the remarks during a Oval Office with South Korean president Lee Jae-myung at the White House. He said, “[ United States Secretary of Defense ] Peter Hegasse has done an excellent job in what I call the War Department. You know, we call him the Department of Defense now, but between us, I think we’re going to change the name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to know the truth, I think we’ll have some information soon,\u201d Donald Trump added. \u201cThe renaming could be done in the next week or so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has hinted repeatedly in recent weeks that the “War Department” could be reinstated. On June 25th Donald Trump, in a press conference after a NATO summit, called him “Minister of War” and said he would use the same title in the weeks ahead because “We feel like soldiers”. In response, some foreign netizens satirized that Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed “Peace President,” would be keen to restore the “War Department.”. In March this year, Hegasse had proposed to restore the historical name of the Ministry of Defense”War Department”, caused a lot of controversy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
