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

Alaskans oppose reverting the name of Denali to Mount McKinley by more than a two-to-one margin, according to a survey of residents conducted several days before President Donald Trump announced he would make the change during his second inauguration speech Monday.

On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order that aims to undo most of his predecessor’s work on Alaska energy and environmental issues. The order entitled “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential” was among dozens Trump signed.

President Trump plans to rename Denali back to Mount McKinley, reigniting debates with state leaders and advocacy groups who prefer the traditional Alaska Native name. Former President Obama renamed it in 2015 in acknowledgment of Alaska Native traditions.

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Wednesday that he would seek out a conversation with President Donald Trump about his decision to rename Denali, the tallest mountain in the U.S. Trump ordered on Monday to change the name of the peak to Mount McKinley.

The president wants to honor a predecessor, William McKinley, by returning his name to North America’s highest peak. The state’s senators prefer the Native name.

President Donald Trump said the Gulf of Mexico will be called the Gulf of America, while the Denali mountain peak will revert to its former name, Mount McKinley.
