President Trump asked Alaska’s two Republican senators what they thought about reversing former President Barack Obama’s 2015 executive decision changing the name of the tallest mountain in North America from Mount McKinley to Denali – and both asked him not to do it.
That’s according to Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, who revealed the story about Trump’s conversation in March with him, fellow Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke about the name change.
“He looked at me and said, ‘I heard that the big mountain in Alaska also had – also its name was changed by executive action. Do you want us to reverse that?'” Sullivan recalledSaturday, according to the Alaska Dispatch News.
