In a change that was already being commented a few weeks ago, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order through which the Defense Department will return to the name department of war again.
The folder was named after 1949, but it was changed to signal that at the beginning of the Cold War the United States planned to prevent wars and not start them.
“I think that [Departamento da Guerra] It is a much more appropriate name, especially considering the current situation in the world. We have the strongest armed forces in the world, ”Trump told journalists at the White House Oval Hall, according to CNN.
“I think this sends a victory message. I think it really sends a message of strength. We are very strong,” said the US president.
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who will now be called the War Secretary, told reporters that “it is not just about renamed, but of restoring” the meaning of the United States Armed Forces.
“[As Forças Armadas] They will leave for the attack, not just for the defense, ”argued Hegseth, who said the country will” form warriors, not just defenders. “
