Why Trump wants to rebrand the Pentagon | DW News

US President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order, giving the Department of Defense a secondary title, namely the Department of War.
Permanently changing the name requires Congressional approval, but the president's order would authorize the use of the new label as a "secondary title" by his administration. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will also reportedly be known as the Secretary of War.
