Trump Says He Plans to Rename Department of Defense

Aug 27, 2025
1 min read

President Donald Trump said Monday that next week the U.S. Department of Defense could

once again return to an earlier name: War Department, a moniker it hasn’t used since 1949. “You know, we call it the Department of Defense, but between us, I think we’re going to change the name,” Trump said during a meeting with South Korea’s president. “If you people behind me want to take a little vote and change it back to what it was when we used to win wars all the time, that’s OK with me … We want defense but we want offense too, OK?”
