President Donald Trump announced 10 June that he will return the original names of seven US Army bases, undoing a renaming process to remove the honoring of Confederates, that was completed under former President Joe Biden. Trump announced these changes at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, in front of troops, ahead of the Army's 250th anniversary. The seven bases were formerly named after Confederate generals and soldiers who fought against the US in the Civil War, however, they will now be honoring other troops and decorated soldiers with similar names to the original Confederate namesakes.
