The tallest mountain in the United States has been officially reverted to Mount McKinley, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced in a press release Friday. The official action comes four days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office that also changes the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Republicans in the Alaska House tried Monday to change a resolution objecting to the renaming of Denali to Mount McKinley into a lengthy list of lavish praise for President Donald Trump, who issued the executive order making the change on his first day back in office a week ago,

JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Wednesday that he would seek out a conversation with President Donald Trump about his decision to rename Denali, the tallest mountain in the U.S. Trump ordered on Monday to change the name of the peak to Mount McKinley.

Dunleavy offered no opinion on Trump's decision to rename Denali as Mount McKinley, saying he wanted to speak with the president before sharing his own view.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy joined Alaska’s News Source in the studio to discuss President Trump’s executive orders involving Alaska and what the future may hold for the state.

The Alaska House has voted to urge President Donald Trump to reverse course and retain the name of North America’s tallest peak as Denali

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.

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order calling for North America’s tallest peak — Denali in Alaska — to be renamed Mount McKinley.

Trump, who took office for a second time Monday, said he planned to “restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.

Many Alaskans say they’ll never stop calling the mountain Denali. That name respects the Indigenous people who’ve lived in its shadows for thousands of years. But Ohioans think McKinley “was a great president.

King and many others who live in the mountain’s shadow say most Alaskans will never stop calling the peak Denali, its Alaska Native name, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order that the name revert to Mount McKinley -- an identifier inspired by President William McKinley, who was from Ohio and never set foot in Alaska.
