Donald Trump will order the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Mount Denali in his first hours as the 47th president, The Post has learned.
The Gulf of Mexico will be rechristened the Gulf of America, and Denali, the highest mountain in North America, will revert to Mount McKinley — which it was called in the sight of the US government until President Barack Obama changed the name in 2015.
The renaming of the two natural features is to honor “American greatness,” according to a preview of the orders.
The draft document indicated the return of Mount McKinley is of special importance to Trump, with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet making it the tallest peak in North America.
The federal government officially dubbed it Mount McKinley in 1917 in honor of William McKinley, the Republican president who had been assassinated 16 years before.
McKinley has been an inspiration for Trump, both in terms of his tariff policies and his expansion of US territory following the Spanish-American War.
