The White House confirmed the preparation of an executive order to rename the Pentagon
On Friday, September 5, US President Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order formalizing the use of the name “Department of War” as an alternative to the current Department of Defense.
A White House representative reported this in a comment to Fox News.
According to the administration’s published bulletin, the document allows the use of the term “Secretary of War” for the current head of the Defense Department, Pete Hegseth.
The decree also instructs him to develop the necessary legislative and administrative initiatives to officially change the name of the institution to the “United States Department of War.”
This step could have both political and symbolic significance, given the change in rhetoric and positioning of American military strategy.
Recall, US President Donald Trump instructed the Pentagon to prepare to deter China and Russia, noting that these measures are not aimed at provoking conflict, but are aimed at restoring the fighting spirit of the army and maintaining deterrence at the global level. This statement was made against the backdrop of a military parade in Beijing, where the leaders of China, Russia and North Korea showed solidarity and increased geopolitical tensions.
