In the midst of rising racial protests in the United States, Secretary of Defense Esper virtually banned the "Confederate" flag, which favored slavery, in military facilities during the Civil War. President Trump's strong opposition to the removal of the flag could deepen the gap with the president.
In the United States, a black man was squeezed by a white police officer and died, and protest against racism increased, and in various places of the Confederacy who supported slavery during the Civil War. There is widespread movement to remove military statues and flags.
Against this backdrop, Secretary of Defense Esper announced a memorandum on the 17th, revealing that he had virtually banned raising the Confederate flag on all US military installations.
In the future, only certain flags such as the American flag that "promote unity" will be accepted, Secretary Esper said, "The flag we hold is a symbol that treats all the people with dignity and respect and invites conflicts between people. Must be in line with the military principle of elimination."
To date, President Trump has strongly criticized the movements of various places to remove the Confederate flag, conscious of the conservative reaction.
Secretary Esper has already begun to mobilize the federal forces to protest against racial discrimination, and the disagreement with President Trump has come to the surface, which could deepen the gap with President.
