The Republican-led Senate Armed Services Committee has reportedly defied President Donald Trump and has adopted a resolution to push for the renaming of American military bases that were named after Confederate generals.
According to CNN’s Jim Sciutto, the Republican-led Senate committee adopted the resolution in a closed-door session on Wednesday night.
The resolution puts the Senate Armed Services Committee on a collision course with President Donald Trump, who earlier this week defended naming bases after Confederate generals on the grounds that those generals were part of America’s tradition of “winning and freedom.”
