During a bilateral meeting with President South Korea, Trump said that the United States “had an incredible history of victories when it was the Ministry of War.”
“When we won the First World War, He (Pentagon, Ed.) Was called the Ministry of War.
Trump also noted that he did not want to be limited to defense. “We also want the offensive,” he said.

Reference: The US Department of War (United States Department of War) was established in 1789 and was responsible for the leadership of the Land Forces, as well as coordination of military campaigns.
In 1947, after the Second World War, a large -scale reorganization of the US Armed Forces was passed as a result of the National Security Act. The Ministry of War was disbanded and its functions were transferred to the newly created Ministry of Defense. The main purpose of renaming was to emphasize the defensive nature of the USA in the post -war world.
