Trump Vows to Rename 20,320-Foot Denali Back to Mount McKinley
Dec 22, 2024, 09:18 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to rename Denali, the 20,320-foot mountain in Denali National Park and North America's tallest peak, back to Mount McKinley, honoring the 25th U.S. President William McKinley. Trump made this statement during a speech in Phoenix, emphasizing McKinley's contributions to the country, including his role in the Spanish-American War and his support for protective tariffs. The mountain was originally named Mount McKinley in 1896 but was officially renamed Denali by former President Barack Obama in 2015, recognizing its cultural significance to Alaska's native population. Trump's proposal to revert the name has sparked a renewed debate over the mountain's designation.
