Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’ — Declares America Must Return to Offense, Not Defense

Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon’s Department of Defense back to its historic title — the Department of War. Calling it a return to America’s “warrior ethos,” Trump argues that the U.S. secured victories in World War I and World War II under the War Department, but lost its offensive edge after the switch to Defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now to be called Secretary of War, backs the shift as a cultural and strategic reset for the military. But will Congress allow this move to stand? Or is Trump rewriting America’s military legacy on his own? #Trump #DepartmentOfWar #Pentagon #USMilitary #WarriorEthos #PeteHegseth #WhiteHouse #ExecutiveOrder #WorldWarHistory #DefenseToWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.122~

Trump-Xi Jinping meeting soon?|After ‘Losing’ India & Russia to China, Trump to meet Xi in October?

Speculation is growing over a potential Trump–Xi Jinping bilateral meeting at the upcoming APEC summit, as U.S.-China tensions over trade and security intensify. Trump is expected to travel to South Korea in October and may also meet North Korea’s Kim Jong Un if he attends. The White House has not confirmed dates, but both leaders have exchanged invitations in recent weeks. A Trump–Xi meeting could address tariffs, regional power struggles, and shifting alliances after Beijing hosted Putin, Kim, and Modi. #Trump #XiJinping #APEC #USChinaRelations #TradeWar #Geopolitics #KimJongUn #Putin #Modi #SouthKorea #Diplomacy #APEC2025 #BreakingNews #USPolitics #China #Tariffs #GlobalSummit #TrumpTrip #WhiteHouse #Beijing #WorldNews #USChinaSummit #GreatPowerPolitics #StrategicRivalry #BilateralMeeting Also Read Fully Reciprocate His Sentiments: PM Modi On Trump's "Will Always Be Friends" Remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fully-reciprocate-his-sentiments-pm-modi-on-trumps-will-always-be-friends-remark-7852419.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump's Fresh Attack, Says India Kills Us With Tariffs, Claims 'No Duty' Offer From New Delhi Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trumps-fresh-attack-says-india-kills-us-with-tariffs-repeats-claim-of-no-duty-offer-from-7849863.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

U.S Civil War | Trump Threatens WAR on Chicago | Mass protests against ‘Wanna be’ Dictator Trump

President Trump escalates his rhetoric, threatening Chicago with federal “Department of War” deployments amid ongoing protests. His provocative “Chipocalypse Now” post, parodying military action and deportations, drew sharp criticism from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who denounced Trump as a “wannabe dictator.” Thousands marched in Chicago against potential raids, holding signs reading “ICE Out of Illinois.” Critics warn the renaming of the Defense Department signals a troubling shift toward authoritarianism and misuse of federal power. #Trump #Chicago #DepartmentOfWar #ChipocalypseNow #JBPritzker #BrandonJohnson #Protests #FederalOverreach #NationalGuard #ICE #Authoritarianism #USPolitics #ChicagoProtests #TrumpControversy #PoliticalDrama #MilitaryOverreach #CivilRights #USCities #BreakingNews #Defiance #ChicagoResistance #FederalPower #TrumpOnline #PoliticalCrisis #MarchForRights #NationalDebate Also Read Fully Reciprocate His Sentiments: PM Modi On Trump's "Will Always Be Friends" Remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/fully-reciprocate-his-sentiments-pm-modi-on-trumps-will-always-be-friends-remark-7852419.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump's Fresh Attack, Says India Kills Us With Tariffs, Claims 'No Duty' Offer From New Delhi Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trumps-fresh-attack-says-india-kills-us-with-tariffs-repeats-claim-of-no-duty-offer-from-7849863.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~

Medvedev REJECTS Western Ukraine Guarantees | Macron, Zelensky’s Coalition Slammed as ‘Nonsense’

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has launched a scathing attack on Western-led security guarantees for Ukraine, calling them “worthless without Moscow’s input.” Speaking after a Paris summit hosted by Emmanuel Macron, where 26 nations pledged military backing for Kyiv, Medvedev dismissed the pledges as “complete nonsense” and accused the coalition of ignoring Russia’s role. He further warned that Russia will adjust its military posture along the NATO-Finland border, escalating tensions in Europe as the war in Ukraine enters a dangerous new phase. #Medvedev #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #SecurityGuarantees #UkraineConflict #MedvedevSpeech #CoalitionOfTheWilling #UkraineNews #RussiaUkraineCrisis #Macron #Zelensky #NATO #FinlandBorder #RussiaNATO #MedvedevQuotes #UkraineUpdate #BreakingNews #UkraineSupport #RussiaUkraineWar #Geopolitics Also Read War between France-Germany, Elon Musk will become US president: Predictions by close Putin aide :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/war-between-france-germany-elon-musk-will-become-us-president-predictions-by-close-putin-aide-3504786.html?ref=DMDesc Post Putin’s announcement on constitutional reforms, Russian PM steps down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/post-putins-announcement-on-constitutional-reforms-russian-pm-steps-down-3015280.html?ref=DMDesc No visa needed for Indians to visit Russia's far east :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-visa-needed-indians-visit-russia-s-far-east-2408596.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~
