JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Wednesday that he would seek out a conversation with President Donald Trump about his decision to rename Denali, the tallest mountain in the U.S. Trump ordered on Monday to change the name of the peak to Mount McKinley.

Trump's a fan of President William McKinley, giving the Canton, Ohio, native a major shout-out in his inaugural address.

In 2015, the name of the peak was changed during the Obama administration to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives and preference of many Alaskans.

President Donald Trump says he’s changing the official name of Alaska’s — and North America’s — tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley. It’s the latest chapter in a long struggle over what the mountain should be called.

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump vowed to change the name of Denali in Alaska back to Mount McKinley.

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

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:

As part of a torrent of decisions he issued hours after taking office, President Donald 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.”

The mountain was previously called Mount McKinley, after the Ohio native former president. The name was officially changed in 2015.

The president wants to honor a predecessor, William McKinley, by returning his name to North America’s highest peak. The state’s senators prefer the Native name.
