President
Donald Trump ruled out renaming U.S.
MILITARY bases that are named for Confederate leaders on Wednesday even as NASCAR banned the Confederate flag from its races and
Democrats sought the removal from Capitol Hill of statues of people representing the pro-slavery South in the 1860s Civil War.
With Americans more conscious about race issues in the wake of the death of African
American George Floyd while in Minneapolis
police custody, Trump drew a line in favor of keeping the names of 10 military bases from
Virginia to
Texas that are named for Confederate military leaders.
