President-elect Trump is set to sign executive orders on his first day in office, as confirmed by incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Among the executive actions planned by Trump after his inauguration, the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali are included.
The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed to the Gulf of America, while Mount Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, will be renamed Mount McKinley. The preview of the order suggests that these changes are aimed at bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization.
The executive orders will direct the Secretary of the Interior to implement the name changes, which will be reflected in official federal documents and maps. However, it remains unclear whether schools will be required to adopt the new terminology as well.
Trump has indicated his intention to sign approximately 200 orders on his first day in office, with a focus on immigration enforcement and reducing DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives. These actions mark the beginning of Trump's presidency and signal his administration's priorities as it takes office.
