US President Donald Trump has signed a decree on changing the name of the Department of Defense. According to the new decision, the institution will henceforth be called the Department of War.
The editorial office reports that the signed decree is regarded as a transition to a new stage in the US administration's security policy. Trump stated that this step more clearly expresses the country's military power and determination.
The new name change has sparked extensive discussions both in the US Congress and on the international stage. Some analysts consider this step a symbolic gesture, while others see it as an indication that Washington is taking a tougher stance in global politics.
