Trump to sign executive order to rebrand the Pentagon as the 'Department of War'

Описание: Donald Trump is to rebrand the US Department of Defense as the "Department of War", according to the White House.

The president will today sign an executive order allowing it to be used as a secondary title for the US government's biggest organisation.

It also means defence secretary Pete Hegseth will be able to refer to himself as the "Secretary of War" in official communications and ceremonies.

Permanently renaming the department would need congressional approval, but the White House said the executive order will instruct Mr Hegseth to begin the process.
