House votes for Department of War renaming as part of an annual defense bill

The House passed a defense policy bill on Wednesday, incorporating President Donald Trump's request for a historic $1.15 trillion in national security spending. A key component of this legislation is the official designation of the Department of Defense as the Department of War. This move integrates the significant funding increase with a historic renaming of the military establishment, as outlined in the annual defense bill recently approved by the House of Representatives in Washington.
