Donald Trump Pushes to End Daylight Saving Time in the U.S.

The president-elect calls the biannual clock change 'costly' and 'inconvenient,' reviving a debate that has stalled in both the U.S. and Europe.

President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to work with the Republican Party to abolish daylight saving time across the United States.
Trump described the practice of changing clocks twice a year as 'costly' and 'inconvenient' in a statement on his social media platform.
The United States has observed daylight saving time since 1942, with Arizona and Hawaii being the only states that do not participate.
Efforts to eliminate daylight saving time in the U.S. have been proposed before, including during Trump's first term, but none have succeeded so far.
The debate over abolishing daylight saving time mirrors similar unresolved discussions in Europe, where no consensus has been reached on adopting permanent summer or winter time.
