Alaskans are responding after President Donald Trump changed the name of North America's tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley.

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

Denali: Why is Donald Trump renaming cherished Alaska peak ‘Mount McKinley’? - The 47th president is wading back into a century-long dispute over the name we give to North America’s tallest mountain

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order calling for North America’s tallest peak — Denali in Alaska — to be renamed Mount McKinley.

A mong the sweep of executive orders signed by the new US president Donald Trump is the decision to rename Denali as Mount McKinley. It’s a controversial move, but not unprecedented – just the latest chapter in a dispute that’s been going on for decades.

The vote came a week after Trump on his first day in office signed an executive order calling for the name to revert to Mount McKinley.

Alaska House members passed a resolution Monday urging President Trump not to rename Mount Denali to Mount Mckinley. Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office that undid a 2015 order from former President Obama naming North America’s highest peak Mount Denali.

The state Senate is expected to quickly agree with the House's request to keep the name as Denali, which would send it to Washington, D.C.
