综合美国政治新闻网站（Politico）等多家外媒报道，美国总统特朗普当地时间25日表示，他将在“未来一周左右”把国防部的名称改回“战争部”。

When "we won World War I, World War II, it was called the Department of War. And to me, that's really what it is," Trump said at a press event with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. "Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was the Department of War. Then we changed it to Department of Defense."
“（美国国防部长）皮特·赫格塞思在我所说的‘战争部’工作非常出色。你知道，我们现在称其为‘国防部’，但在我们之间，我认为我们将改变名称。”
“如果你想知道真相，我想我们很快就会得到一些相关信息”，特朗普还表示，“这项更名可能会在未来一周左右完成。”
Trump said officials would "probably" return the Pentagon to the more aggressive name it once held in about a week.
特朗普透露，为了更改名称，他一直在与大家沟通，而且“大家都喜欢这个名字”。
特朗普近几周来多次暗示可能恢复“战争部”。6月25日，特朗普在北约峰会后举行的发布会上称赫格塞思为“战争部长”，并称接下来的几周也要用这个称呼，因为“我们感觉像战士一样”。
Trump has hinted in recent weeks about the possibility of reverting the name back, calling Hegseth his "Secretary of War" at a NATO summit in June and indicating that political correctness forced the switch.
对此，有外国网友讽刺说，自称是“和平总统”的特朗普，竟然会热衷于恢复“战争部”。今年3月，赫格塞思就曾提议恢复国防部的历史名称“战争部”，引发不少争议。
