Trump intende ribattezzare il Dipartimento della Difesa come "Dipartimento della Guerra", secondo un annuncio ufficiale.
In un importante passo, il Presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump firmerà un ordine esecutivo venerdì 5 settembre per rinominare il Dipartimento della Difesa come "Dipartimento della Guerra". Se approvato dal Congresso, questo provvedimento segnerà il ritorno al nome originale del dipartimento, che era noto come Dipartimento della Guerra fino al 1949.
La maggioranza repubblicana del Congresso ha ricevuto proposte legislative per approvare la rinominazione, a seguito dell'ordine esecutivo del Presidente Trump che consente l'uso del termine "Dipartimento della Guerra" come titolo secondario. although Congress approval is still pending, the Republican majority in both chambers suggests a positive outcome.
The effort to rename the Department of Defense was chosen in part to signal that in the nuclear age, the US is focused on preventing wars, according to historians. However, it's worth noting that the cost of updating signs and letterheads for this name change could be significant, requiring updates to signs and letterheads used by officials at the Pentagon and military installations worldwide.
This move by President Trump is part of a larger initiative to rename a range of places and institutions. One of the institutions Trump has sought to rename is the Gulf of Mexico. Moreover, Trump has aimed to restore the original names of military bases that were changed after racial justice protests.
An earlier effort by former President Joe Biden to rename nine bases that honored the Confederacy and Confederate leaders was estimated to cost the Army $39 million. It's unclear at this point what the cost of this latest name change would be.
The executive order also authorizes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Defense Department, and subordinate officials to use secondary titles such as "Secretary of War," "Department of War," and "Deputy Secretary of War" in official correspondence and public communications. The order instructs Hegseth to recommend legislative and executive actions required to make the renaming permanent.
It's important to note that the renaming of the Department of Defense requires congressional approval. The effort by former President Biden to rename the bases was reversed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier this year. The exact timeline and outcomes of this renaming process remain to be seen.
