WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Sept. 5 signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense as the Department of War.

“I think it’s a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now,” Trump said before signing the order at the Oval Office. “We have the strongest military in the world. We have the greatest equipment in the world.”
