US President Donald Trump said he might change the name of the US Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” He made these remarks to reporters at the White House in Washington on Monday while hosting South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. Trump added, “We call it the Department of Defense, but maybe we will change the name; I think we will inform you soon.” He noted that the department was called the Department of War during the First and Second World Wars and expressed a feeling that the name might be changed. He also mentioned that he has spoken with relevant parties and might announce a decision on renaming the department within a few weeks. Previously, Trump had expressed a preference for using the term “Department of War” instead of the Department of Defense.
