(The Hill) -- President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that he could move soon to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.

"Pete Hegseth has been incredible with the, as I call it, the Department of War. You know, we call it the Department of Defense, but between us, I think we're going to change the name," Trump said during a meeting with South Korea's president.

"You want to know the truth, I think we’re going to have some information on that maybe soon," he added.

Trump argued it was called the Department of War during U.S. victories in World War I and World War II.

“Defense is a part of that," Trump said. "But I have a feeling we’re going to be changing. Everybody likes that. We had an unbelievable history of victory when it was Department of War."
