In a move that sparked renewed debate, President Trump announced his intention to change the name of Denali, North America's tallest peak, back to Mt. McKinley during his inaugural address. He praised McKinley's contributions as a president and expressed his belief that the mountain should bear his name. This decision follows former President Obama's redesignation of the peak to Denali in 2015, a name supported by Native Alaskans. The proposal faced opposition from environmentalists and local politicians who advocated for Denali, emphasizing its cultural importance.
We will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mt. McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.
There is only one name worthy of North America's tallest mountain: Denali - the Great One.
