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 has issued an executive order calling for North America’s tallest peak — Denali in Alaska — to be renamed Mount McKinley.
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.
Now, 123 years after McKinley was killed by an assassin just five months into his second term, Trump is seeking to rescue the Ohioan from relative historical obscurity and emulate him as a man of vision and American greatness.
Mount Denali, named by the Alaska Native Koyukon Athabaskan people, has once again been caught in the crossfire of American politics - and this time, it has got to do with Trump.
President Trump has given the Interior Department 30 days to rename the highest point in North American Mount McKinley, although he's not ordering that Denali National Park be renamed.
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 tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.
