President Donald Trump signed numerous executive orders on his first day in office on Monday—one of the executive orders was to rename Mt. Denali and the Gulf of Mexico.
In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump used an executive order on Monday to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Denali in Alaska. To start, Trump re-named the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” following through on a promise he made during his campaign. The body of water borders Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
Denali isn’t the only name change Trump is eyeing. The same executive order also renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, something he has talked about regularly in recent weeks.

The US president ordered US mapmakers to make the change within hours of taking office on Monday, making good on a campaign promise which infuriated the Mexican government.
