WP reported on Trump's plans to abolish a Pentagon department
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to abolish the Pentagon unit, which is responsible for the protection of civilians during hostilities. This was reported by The Washington Post on January 23 with reference to an official.
The material notes that the administration of the American leader will take such a step, believing that the new leadership of the Ministry of Defense will loosen restrictions on US military operations.
The Army is already developing a plan to stop funding and disband this office, the publication specifies.
"Closing the office, which was created by the 2023 law, would require congressional approval. It is unclear whether the Trump administration will seek to reallocate some of the center's functions to other offices," the article said.
Earlier in the day, Trump announced that he would declassify all remaining files related to the assassinations of President (1961-1963) John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. He signed the relevant decree at the White House.
On January 20, immediately after his inauguration, Trump signed more than 200 new executive orders. Among them, the introduction of a state of emergency on the border with Mexico and the inclusion of drug cartels in the list of terrorist organizations.
