The President's order to rename Denali, North America's highest peak, back to Mount McKinley does not agree with Alaska senator.
President Donald Trump announced the name of Alaska’s highest peak — and North America’s tallest at over 20,000 feet — Denali, would be changed back to Mount McKinley. Trump was sworn in as the 47th president on Monday, and made the announcement in his inaugural address, also promising to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.
Amid stark warnings of a rare winter storm, the governor’s office decided it was time to endorse President Donald Trump’s proposed rebranding of the Gulf of Mexico.
President Donald Trump said the Gulf of Mexico will be called the Gulf of America, while the Denali mountain peak will revert to its former name, Mount McKinley.
The man after whom Trump wants to rename North America's highest peak had no connection to Alaska or Denali. So what is the story? Trump thinks he "deserves" it.
President Donald Trump announced the name change during his inaugural address, along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”.
Trump had said, ‘They took his name off Mount McKinley…He was a great president, and we will restore his legacy by bringing back the name Mount McKinley’
Trump reportedly has plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali in his first day in office — but can he?
In just the first couple days of his second term, President Donald Trump has already taken an extraordinary amount of executive action. On Monday alone, he issued 26 executive orders, 12 legally binding memoranda and four presidential proclamations.
The order Trump signed instructs the Interior Department to update the Geographic Names Information System to reflect the renaming of the Gulf and remove all references to the Gulf of Mexico. It says all federal references to the Gulf of America, including on agency maps, contracts, and other documents and communications shall reflect the renaming.
Donald Trump is set to issue a number of orders reversing Joe Biden's policies, kickstarting his second-term agenda after the inauguration.
