Trump to rename Gulf of Mexico, Mount Denali on first day in office
President-elect Trump will sign executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali on his first day in office, incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Monday.
The orders, first reported by the New York Post, are among a slew of executive actions Trump plans to take after taking the oath of office on Monday. The actions would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Mount Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, to Mount McKinley.
“President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization,” reads a preview of the order obtained by the Post.
The orders direct the Secretary of the Interior to make the name changes. The changes will apply to official federal documents and maps, though it is unclear whether the order also requires schools to use the new terminology.

“McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president,” Trump said at a December rally. “They took his name off Mount McKinley, right? That’s what they do to people. Now, he was a great president, very good president. At a minimum, he was a very good businessman. He was a businessman, then a governor, very successful businessman.”

President Obama renamed the mountain to Denali in 2015, in keeping with a request from the Alaska legislature.
Trump plans to sign roughly 200 orders on his first day in office, targeting immigration and cutting back on DEI initiatives.
Incoming Trump administration officials told Fox News Digital that the overarching theme of his Day One actions is “promises made, promises kept.”

In a shocking move, President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to rename two iconic landmarks on his first day in office. The Gulf of Mexico will now be known as the “Trump Gulf” and Mount Denali will be renamed “Trump Mountain.”
This decision has sparked outrage and controversy among environmentalists, indigenous groups, and the general public. Many argue that these names hold cultural and historical significance that should not be erased or altered for political gain.
