Explanation:
Si on parle de "ministère des Transports" (ou "du Transport") en France, il s'agit aux États-Unis du Département des Transports. Utiliser ce terme une fois en toutes lettres, avec l'acronyme entre parenthèses, puis uniquement "DT". Useful links below.

Example sentence(s):
  • He has returned to his substantive position at the Department of Transport.
  • Il a réintégré son poste d'attache au ministère des Transports.
