US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to restore the name of North America's tallest peak to 'Mount McKinley,' reversing the decision made by former President Barack Obama to rename it 'Denali.

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.

How Donald Trump's presidential inauguration unfolded as he was sworn in as the 47th President to succeed Joe Biden.

His order, which the White House called “the most important federal civil rights measure in decades,” revokes Executive Order 11246 signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. It prohibited discriminatory practices in hiring and employment in government contracting and asserted the government’s commitment to affirmative action.

The mountain was previously called Mount McKinley, after the Ohio native former president. The name was officially changed in 2015.

As part of a torrent of decisions he issued this week 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.
