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.
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.’
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.
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 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.
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’
As part of a torrent of decisions he issued this week hours after taking office, President Trump declared that the name of America’s tallest mountain be changed from Denali to Mount McKinley, and that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed “The Gulf of America.”
Trump reportedly has plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali in his first day in office — but can he?
As part of his executive order addressing energy policy, Trump also took steps to reverse policies he referred to as the "electric vehicle mandate," outlining plans to ease regulations and emissions standards for gas-powered vehicles and eliminate Biden-era subsidies for electric vehicle purchases, manufacturing and infrastructure.
