Democrats will review Trump's $1.5 trillion military plans.
Representatives of the US Democratic Party plan to change key defense initiatives of the Trump administration, including the creation of nuclear-armed battleships and the renaming of the Pentagon to the "War Department", according to the Wall Street Journal.
The proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget may also come under scrutiny. Democrats advocate combining expensive modern military systems with cheaper weapons that can be produced and replaced quickly.
In addition, they intend to remove from the annual bill for the security policy provisions regarding changing the official name of the Ministry of Defense. The Trump administration used the name "War Department" following an order signed in September 2025.
