President Donald Trump says he’s changing the official name of Alaska’s — and North America’s — tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley. It’s the latest chapter in a long struggle over what the mountain should be called.

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:

Among the roughly 200 executive orders President Donald Trump is expected to sign during his first day in office is a declaration to restore the name of the 25th president, William McKinley, to an Alaska mountain.

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 is likely to face some pushback in Alaska, where the Alaska Native name has long been favored for the continent’s tallest mountain.

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

The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years. The Associated Press will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen. As a global news agency that disseminates news around the world, the AP must ensure that place names and geography are easily recognizable to all audiences.

As part of a torrent of decisions he issued hours after taking office, President Donald Trump declared that the name of America’s tallest mountain be changed from Denali to Mount McKinley, and that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed “The Gulf of America.”
