Скачать или смотреть Trump renames Department of Defence as the Department of War

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday renaming the Department of Defence as the Department of War – a long-telegraphed move aimed at projecting American military toughness around the globe.

“It’s a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now,” Mr Trump said. He said the previous name was “woke”.

The order comes as some of Mr Trump’s closest supporters on Capitol Hill proposed legislation that would codify the new name into law, with Congress having the sole power to establish, shutter and rename federal departments.
