White House moves forward on plans for a Department of War, WSJ Reports

 


(Reuters) -The Trump administration is advancing plans to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing a White House official said.

Restoring the Department of War name for the government's largest department could require congressional action, but the White House is exploring alternative methods to implement the change, the report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
