House GOP pushes forward with Trump‑backed Pentagon name change

The House GOP is moving ahead with a proposal to rename the Pentagon. The effort stems from President Trump’s push to change the department’s name. The House Appropriations Committee voted to back the rebrand. This marks the third House committee to endorse the change. Earlier, two other committees had already signaled support. The proposal reflects a broader push to reshape defense branding. Lawmakers argue the new name better reflects the department’s mission. The move faces opposition from some members who view it as symbolic.
