President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said he would revert the name of Denali, the tallest mountain in the United States, back to Mount McKinley after he takes office.

President Barack Obama in 2015 officially renamed the Alaska mountain as Denali, ending a decades-long battle over its name. The peak was officially named Mount McKinley in 1917, after the 25th president, William McKinley.
