President Donald Trump has issued an executive order calling for North America’s tallest peak — Denali in Alaska — to be renamed Mount McKinley.

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,

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.

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley. Here's why:

The president made the name change through one of dozens of executive orders he signed on Monday. Former President Barack Obama’s administration ordered that the mountain be renamed as Denali in 2015.

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

The move is likely to face some pushback in Alaska, where the Alaska Native name has long been favored for the continent’s tallest mountain.

The move, the 47th president says, will ‘restore the name of a great president’ to ‘Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.’

President Donald Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and the Alaska mountain Denali to Mount McKinley. What you need to know.

The peak was known as Mount McKinley until 2015, when President Obama changed it in recognition of its 10,000 year old original Alaskan name

The President's order to rename Denali, North America's highest peak, back to Mount McKinley does not agree with Alaska senator.
