Trump will sign an executive order Friday to change the Department of Defense’s name to the Department of War, part of a broader effort to present a more aggressive, victorious military to the world.

A senior administration official confirmed the change, which would likely require an act of Congress. But the White House is looking for other alternatives that would avoid a vote, according to another person familiar with the deliberations. The people were granted anonymity to discuss internal conversations.

Hegseth, in a Wednesday interview on Fox News, echoed Trump’s line. “We won World War I, and we won World War II, not with the Department of Defense, but with a War Department, with the Department of War," he said. "As the president has said, we're not just defense, we're offense."

Trump has said he thinks Congress would go along with him. "Defense is too defensive,” he said last month. “And we want to be defensive, but we want to be offensive too if we have to be. So, it just sounded to me like a better name."

Democrats quickly skewered the move. Rep. Darren Soto (D-Fla.) and several others flicked at the irony of such an aggressive action from a president who reportedly craves the world’s most notable award for peace.
