Donald Trump was sworn in as president of the US only 10 days ago, but has undertaken a flurry of executive orders. As of January 29, he’s signed 38 — more than any other president has signed so early into his term.
While many are considered controversial, one that has received extra attention for being particularly out of left field is an order to rename geographic features around the US. Trump signed an order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.” It’s underway, but will be changed only in the US, as the Gulf of Mexico is the globally accepted name. But also attached to that order was a directive to change the name of Denali, Alaska’s 20,310-foot-tall peak and the highest in North America, to its former name, Mount McKinley. It went into effect on January 23.
