Denali isn’t the only name change Trump is eyeing. The same executive order also renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, something he has talked about regularly in recent weeks.
Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to correctly identify Denali. (NEXSTAR) — President Donald Trump is set to hit the ground running as he takes office for the second time on Monday.
President Donald Trump on Monday issued an executive order seeking to rename the Gulf of Mexico and change the name of North America’s tallest peak, Denali in Alaska, back to Mount McKinley.
While a name change for the Gulf of Mexico could be applied for federal references, other nations have no obligation to follow suit.
