At a press conference held after the NATO summit on June 25, US President Trump called US Defense Secretary Hegseth the “Secretary of War” and said that he would use this title in the next few weeks because “we feel like soldiers.” In response, some foreign netizens sarcastically said that Trump, who calls himself the “peace president,” is actually keen on restoring the “Department of War.” In March this year, US Defense Secretary Hegseth proposed to restore the historical name of the Department of Defense, “Department of War,” which caused a lot of controversy.
