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 announced the name change during his inaugural address, along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”.
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 has signed a flurry of executive actions on Day 1. He has repealed dozens of former President Joe Biden’s actions, begun his immigration crackdown, withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris climate accords and sought to keep TikTok open in the U.
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.
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.
President Donald Trump’s flurry of first-day executive actions included a slew of orders related to health, energy, international relations and the federal workforce.
