Trump will order the renaming Alaska's Mount Denali and more
A spokeswoman for the transition team says Donald Trump will order the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Mount Denali in his first executive orders.
Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on the social platform X that the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the Gulf of America and Denali - the highest mountain in North America - will revert to Mount McKinley, its former name until the Obama administration changed it in 2015.
Earlier this month, Trump floated the idea of renaming the body of water that forms the coastline along five southeastern states, saying he felt "Gulf of America" has a "beautiful ring to it."
As president, Trump can take the action to rename the body of water, although other countries don't have to adopt the new name.
