Trump Restores Confederate Names to Military Bases

Announces decision during Fort Bragg visit
President Donald Trump announced plans to restore the names of several U.S. military bases to honor Confederate generals, reversing changes made under the previous administration.

Speaking at Fort Bragg during the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary celebration, Trump declared his intent to reinstate names such as Fort Pickett and Fort Hood.

The decision has sparked controversy, with critics accusing the president of glorifying racist figures and undermining efforts to address systemic racism within the military.
