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.’
The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.
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.
