Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his condolences following the deadly crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 near Aktau, Kazakhstan.

Trump Pledges to Rename Denali to Mount McKinley, Sparking Debate Over Heritage and History

During his inauguration, Donald Trump announced plans to restore the name of North America’s tallest peak from Denali to Mount McKinley. This move would reverse Barack Obama’s 2015 decision to honor Alaska’s indigenous heritage by officially recognizing the traditional name, Denali, meaning "The High One." The peak, named after President McKinley in 1917, has been a point of contention between honoring indigenous culture and preserving historical legacies, with Trump's decision reigniting a decades-long debate. #Trump #MountMcKinley #Denali #Inauguration #IndigenousRights #HistoricalLegacy #Alaska #KoyukonAthabascan #Obama #Heritage #PeakRenaming #USHistory #AmericanPolitics #PresidentialActions #CulturalDebate #GoldStandard #WilliamMcKinley #TraditionalNames #MountainRenaming #NativeAmerican Also Read Trump Vows To Launch Trade Wars With 'Tariffs & Taxes' On Foreign Nations In His Pro-America Inaugural Address :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vows-to-launch-trade-wars-with-tariffs-and-taxes-on-foreign-nations-in-his-pro-america-inaugur-4048253.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces US Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord, End Electric Vehicle Mandate :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-us-withdrawal-from-paris-climate-accord-end-electric-vehicle-mandate-4048251.html?ref=DMDesc 'Drill, Baby, Drill': President Trump Declares National Energy Emergency, Promises To Boost US Oil Independenc :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drill-baby-drill-president-trump-declares-national-energy-emergency-promises-to-boost-us-oil-i-4048247.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.121~ED.194~
