President Donald Trump has officially issued an executive order to change Denali, the tallest peak in Alaska and North America, back to 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 pledge to rename Denali was opposed by environmental groups and Alaskan politicians, including Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
The Alaskan mountain, now known as Mount Denali, will revert back to its previous name Mount McKinley, which was changed by former President Barack Obama. Obama changed the name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents.
In summoning people to his vision for the future, Donald Trump assembled a dizzying collage of time-honored and time-worn American myths, tropes and ideals.
