Former President Donald Trump promised during a town hall in Fayetteville, North Carolina, that he would revert the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg if elected. The base, renamed last year to remove the association with Confederate General Braxton Bragg, is the largest military installation in the U.S. Trump, who criticized the original name change during his presidency, told the crowd, “We get elected, I’m doing it,” receiving strong applause.
Trump’s town hall, focused on military and foreign policy, was moderated by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. He also discussed national defense, promoting the idea of an “Iron Dome” for the U.S., and criticized President Biden’s stance on Israel’s potential response to Iranian nuclear threats.
Trump’s visit came amid recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. He criticized the Biden administration’s response to the crisis, while Vice President Harris is scheduled to tour the damage soon.
