President Donald Trump on Friday said the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), will not change the names of U.S. military bases, despite the bipartisan push to rename posts honoring confederate leaders.

“I spoke to highly respected (Chairman) Senator @JimInhofe, who informed me that he WILL NOT be changing the names of our great Military Bases and Forts, places from which we won two World Wars (and more!). Like me, Jim is not a believer in “Cancel Culture,” wrote Trump in a tweet.
