The internal department of the Trump administration said on Friday that it officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the US Gulf, and Alaska Peak Denley to Mount McCinley.
US President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a name change as a part of executive work, which was good at the promise of a campaign.
The internal department said in a statement, “As directed by the President, the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America and will once again tolerate the name Mount McCinley, the highest peak of North America. “
Alaska’s huge peak was called Mount McCinley in honor of former US President William McCinley, but in 1975, Denali was named in Koyucon indigenous language at the state request.
The department said, “These changes confirm the country’s commitment to preserve the extraordinary heritage of the United States and ensure that the future generations of Americans celebrate their heroes and the legacy of historical property.”
In his inaugural address on Monday, Trump said that McCinley, a Republican, who was President from 1897 to 1901, “made our country very rich through tariffs and through talent – he was a natural businessman.” McCinley was the head of America in an expansionist era, receiving Hawaii, Guam and Puerto Rico as regions. Hawaii later became an American state.
While Trump can direct the US Geological Survey to change how it reflects the Gulf of Mexico, such a name change will not be unlikely to be recognized internationally.
Mexico, like America, is a long coastline to circulate water body, it has said that the Gulf of Mexico’s name has been recognized internationally and has been used as a maritime sailor reference which has been used as hundreds Has been back for years.
Earlier this month, Mexican President Claudia Shinbam made fun of North America including the United States, named “Mexican America” - a historic name used on the initial map of the region.
