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

On the day that Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, he signed a flurry of executive orders, including one that will rename Alaska's tallest peak to the name it held for almost a century.

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 peak was known as Mount McKinley until 2015, when President Obama changed it in recognition of its 10,000 year old original Alaskan name

Trump said he planned to “restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs."

On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order that aims to undo most of his predecessor’s work on Alaska energy and environmental issues. The order entitled “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential” was among dozens Trump signed.
